There is no clear rule, except that compatible is always first. In the
DTS reg is second, in bindings usually as well but not always.

So just :

     # Western Digital MyBook Live memory-mapped GPIO controller
     - wd,mbl-gpio

Ah, so you do not mean here address space size? OK then, thanks for
clarification.

The items have order and usually we require strict order from DTS,
unless there is a reason. If there is no reason, use fixed order and
then fix the DTS.

I would argue that even one example with no-output is enough, but sure,
can be two in total.
