That last part is an odd comment to make in the commit message of a
patch submitted upstream...

You can't ever remove them because you can't ever be sure that people
won't be using an old DTB.

I don't see much use in listing that these properties are deprecated. We
already have code to catch the deprecated names, so having them in the
binding will at best be distracting.

Anyway, I don't know if there's been any advice on this from the device
tree bindings maintainers, so adding devicetree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for
visibility.
