I meant that you:
1. Worked on old tree and used old files as starting template,
2. Worked on old tree, used get_maintainers.pl and send it.

This could be any combination of above. All of them are not the way you
should do. And you should notice it through bounces of incorrect emails.
Very old emails.

You cannot change existing binding. I should have given you the same
comments for STM32MP13 year ago, but that time I was too busy with all
the reviews to enforce also the register constants in the bindings.

You can keep the driver, I care less how it is written. What I oppose is
to add new register values as binding IDs. Why? Because these are not
IDs and your driver is not using them. If these were IDs, your driver
would use them and I would expect them to start from 0. Just like your
clock driver is doing.

So just drop this reset binding header changes. You don't need them.
Feel free to store such register values in a header in /boot/dts/
directory, to make it clear these are only helpers for DTS, not
bindings. This will also allow you in the future to change them, unlike
bindings.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
