I guess you should not apply any of the dts patches to the

As there exist 7-seg displays (and wirings) with and without DP,
the 7-seg driver and DT bindings should handle both cases. How to

I agree it's a thin boundary between hardware description and software
policy, though. Is that your main concern?
