While we've tried that elsewhere, unstable DT bindings have been shown
to be a major source of pain.

I'd feel rather uncomfortable accepting a
binding that we already believe to be insufficient to describe the
hardware.

What do you expect to change?
Related bindings seem incomplete. As such, the PAMU binding (pamu.txt)
covers incompletely a dynamic LIODN assignment/programming model. The
current driver uses a static assignment scheme that the binding needs to
include. I also suspect that once the driver starts supporting the
dynamic LIODN assignment/programming we might find some wrinkles
Ok. Given that the driver doesn't seem to be in mainline (per a quick
grep), just put "DO NOT MERGE" or something like that in the commit
message. Once this is merged you're going to need to support it.
We have a driver and once the bindings get accepted we'll (update the
driver as needed and) post the code
