Thanks for the update!

Please add "|", as you want to preserve the formatting of the diagram.

I guess it doesn't hurt to have "maxItems: 8", so people don't have
to update their DTS later when support for the DP is added?
That would need an update to the description above, as the last segment
would then be either G or DP.

Please group GPIO specifiers using angular brackets:

    segment-gpios = <&gpio 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>,
                     <&gpio 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>,
                     ...
