Seems Hoegeun missed this.
I also think it should specify *te-gpios is optional property* like
mipi-dsi binding document did but this doesn't breakage of ABI you
mentioned. And I'd like to say we should feel ABI breakage is a
serious problem.

Sad to say, Exynos is already broken like Marek declared. This is
really a serious problem Exynos maintainers have to fix including you
and me.

Thanks,
