And "Currently the only supported" feels like a driver description. We expect bindings to be complete. It's fine to bring partial description of hardware, but this should be explained in the commit msg and entire binding should be still created to accommodate that full description. However such complex devices like Ocelot should be described fully so we can easily see how you organize entire binding. > >> But if this is DSA, then you miss dsa ref and dsa-related properties. > > So far I'm resisting DSA.
