Are the DT bindings really full of such ambiguity between
singular and plural? Examples?

What happens in affected drivers today? It just doesn't work?

Does that mean these bindings are not actively used by any
drivers yet so we could augment the bindings instead, or are
they already deployed so we must implement this?

Would like a word from the DT people here...
