The old binding said:
-Required properties of an internal channel when:
- - It is the only enabled channel of the bond (or)
- - If it acts as primary among enabled bonds
-- renesas,primary-bond: empty property indicating the channel
acts as primary
- among the bonded channels.
so renesas,primary-bond is required for the only enabled node for
single channels configurations anyway?
