I put it next to the existing cros-ec binding. The existing binding is
there because of historical reasons as far as I know. Otherwise it
didn't seem MFD related so I didn't Cc mfd maintainer/list. New file
additions don't usually conflict with anything and this is in the
bindings directory so the driver side maintainer would be picking up the
binding.
