All this commit msg looks irrelevant, obfuscating and duplicating the
same message.

Quite ascetic bindings - no clocks? no power-domains? interrupts?

easier to keep them in one entry - HPE GXP ARCHITECTURE. There is little
benefit in having per-block entries which are the same as your main entry.
