Certainly custom bindings need to be discussed properly on the lists :)

Yup and I keep getting worried about this every time I see it still. But like
I've mentioned when we chatted offline, as long as Arnd, Marc and Rob ack this
use, I can live with it.
I'm just trying to avoid another "ti,hwmods" type custom property here..
We are still dealing with it to replace it with just standard use of
"compatible" property, and every time Rob sees it he still comments on it :)
Reagrds,
