The question is whether we should. The above might be a precedent,
but it
may not necessarily be the way to go. The commit message for esp8089
seems
to hint that there is intent to have an in-tree driver:
"""
Note that at this point there only is an out of tree driver for
this
hardware, there is no clear timeline / path for merging this.
Still
I believe it would be good to specify the binding for this in
tree
now, so that any future migration to an in tree driver will not
cause
compatiblity issues.

Regardless the bindings are in principle independent of the kernel
and just
describing hardware. I think there have been discussions to move the
bindings to their own repository, but apparently it was decided
otherwise.
Yeah, I guess especially how it could be merged with the cw1200
driver
would be very relevant to that commit log.
The cw1200 driver seems to still have some legacy platform
data. Maybe they should also be convert to DT.
(Or maybe compatible = "allwinner,xr819" is enough, as
xr819 is a specified variant of cw1200 family)
Ah, so the upstream cw1200 driver supports xr819? Has anyone tested
that? Or does cw1200 more changes than just adding the DT support?
By doing some tests, XR819 is in the the CW1x60 family, which is not
yet well supported by cw1200 driver.
More work should be needed for support xr819 in cw1200 driver.
