So long as there is no effort on actually upstreaming a graph based card that shows realistic signs of getting merged in a useful form it doesn't meaningfully exist. Right now nobody is even trying to do that. If you are concerned about simple-card being too Linux specific then by all means add board specific bindings, preferably ones that can just be added to simple-card as a compatible string.
