I can't take this unless there's a driver that supports your device.

I'd argue you should rather look for a documented binding rather than a
(Linux?) driver. Otherwise you would refuse changes that are not
strictly Linux related. DTS files are meant to describe hardware in a
generic way and not be driven by Linux drivers / design.


Of course, devicetree describes hardware - that is pretty much globally known.

As I wrote in the bindings patch, I still anyway want to see the driver part
for this block before deciding if your description of this hardware is correct.
