For several panels we have device trees that looks like this:
spi {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
panel@0 {
compatible = "kingdisplay,kd035g6-54nt";
reg = <0>;
spi-max-frequency = <3125000>;
spi-3wire;
spi-cs-high;
...
The bindings are child of the spi controller node, but not specified
in the same binding file as the spi controller node.
A lot of bindings repeats the descriptions of (some of) the
pi-slave properties.
To avoid introducing yet another set of redundant and maybe incomplete
SPI slave property descriptions I moved the relevant properties
from spi-controller.yaml to spi-slave.yaml.
So SPI slaves can now reference spi-slave.yaml to get access to
the SPI slave properties - and the copies can be avoided.
Likewise spi-controller.yml now references spi-slave.yaml.
This was the best way I saw it could be done.
This approach is used in several bindings in this patch set.
