If this is const, why do you need it in the DTS in the first place?
compatible defines it.

I don't understand what happened here. Previously you had a child and I
proposed to properly describe it with $ref.

Now, all children are gone. Binding is supposed to be complete. Based on
your cover letter, this is not complete, but why? What is missing and
why it cannot be added?

Filename should match bindings filename.


Anyway, the problem is that it is a dead header. I don't see it being
used, so it is not a binding.
