It is a bit confusing... how did that driver got merged recently without
bindings? Why bindings are separate?

The bindings always come together in one patchset with the driver
implementing them. Bindings are though a separate patch, yet still
followed by the driver which uses them.

I do not see any compatibles in that driver, which suggests there is no
other binding using it. If that's correct, then you need to change the
driver.

Best regards,
