Yes and no.

For example the img4780 seems to need a clock reference in the
gpu node. But it could maybe connected in a parent node like recent
TI SoC do with the target-module approach.

And our goal is to end up with a common driver for all SoC and architectures
in far future. Then, probably clock, reset and power management should
be handled in the same way.

Yes.

Ah, ok. I haven't read that one.

Which is quite uncommon if you aren't a python programmer...

Ok. Good.

I see.

Ok.

Well, my concern as a regular .dts author is that I usually treat
bindings as documentation and giving hints how to write a .dts and
what to take care of. If it is not complete, I get into big trouble.

One says it needs a libyaml but after installing one my HOSTCC didn't find
it. The other asks for another script which seems to be missing.

Ok, as you described above we need "items".

Have to look up how that syntax is.

Yes...

You see into what issues a first time YAML/schema writer with 35 years C but no
YAML, Python or JSON experience runs into...

Writing bindings as .txt was easy :)

I am not sure if I understand that yet.

Yes that is clear. I kept it for reference what I intended to translate from.
