You're not going to need binding changes to add support for those, 
right?

Please start with submitting-patches.rst and the DT specific version of 
that.

This should be a separate patch. checkpatch.pl will tell you this and 
other things.

Filename should match compatible.

This is another patch.

Yet another patch. But really, this one will be rejected most likely 
unless you can justify why it is needed.

Your own interface to userspace is probably not going to be accepted 
either.

Is this really a separate sub-block? As in could it be reused somewhere 
else or in a different combination of blocks?

Is this really a separate sub-block?
