I moved these bindings separately so we could just drop the patch if there was push-back. If we drop the whole idea I'll need to apply a small fix to patch 5/6 to avoid creating the syscon subdirectory.The sub-directory is a good idea for drivers who are *solely* syscon based.Yes, I wasn't saying otherwise, just commenting on my motivation and approach. As far as I can tell all of the bindings I move here describe solely syscon-based devices.
But do we know which ones they are? In principle, any syscon device node can have a specialized driver exporting an interface, the bindings always allow it to be done one way or the other, and we may change the driver or run a different OS that has decided differently.
