What you claim now, is that you have one device with entirely different
interfaces and programming model. So either this is not the same device
or you just wrote bindings to whatever you have in driver.
Nothing in commit msg explains this.
What you should do? Depends. If you just write bindings for driver, then
stop. It's a NAK. Instead write bindings for hardware.
If the first choice, just the hardware is somehow like this, then
explain in commit msg and device description, how this device can be
connected over other bus, not MMIO. You can draw some schematics in
commit msg explaining architecture etc.
Best regards,
Krzysztof
