Devicetree bindings are supposed to be operating system independent
and should thus not describe how a specific functionality is implemented
in Linux.

So your argument is that linux/Documentation/devicetree/bindings should
not be specific to Linux. Merely hosted in the Linux kernel source
repository.

Well that's certainly a point of view.

Not specifically my argument, really, and nothing new either. But, yes, I do
think that devicetree bindings descriptions should not include implementation
details, especially since those may change over time (as is the case here).

Thanks,
