Hello Rob,

I just submitted patch v4 that addresses most of your feedback.

In the v4 patch the yaml file expects the device-specific compatible
string, but also 'hid-over-spi'.

I am not sure if there is a way to account for all possible scenarios.
Our device only has one power regulator and the binding is now
device-specific.

I have made these optional in the v4 patch.

I've made "flags" more specific in the v4 patch.
