I hope to find some time in the next few days to come up with draft kernel patches. If you don't hear back from me soon but want to work on validating the drivers against the bindings, please contact me again. The basic idea is to extend 'devres' to automatically register all the resources (registers, irq, dma, gpio, pinctrl, clk, regulator, ...) and simple properties before the ->probe() callback is even called, based on a per-driver data structure that describes them, and that can be easily parsed by an external tool.
