To be honest I don't have a very strong opinion on the binding. I made
it as generic as possible on the guidance of the DT people. Let's see
what they think of it.

Once again our opinion diverge. It is entirely possible to use the same
kernel on different device (stemming from the same board file) with a
device tree to guide the configuration.
