Wrong, I haven't suggested that. See comment to the previous patch.

And this is definitely wrong as Geert explained already why.
You need to fix the code that handles the ID table first.

That rule applicable only for fallback. I checked bindings and there are

no fallbacks.

You can't check the _whole_ world, so you checked only bindings that are in
tree.
But it doesn't matter as a user somewhere may use something you have no
access to.

Yes true, for those not using tree can patch bindings and modify the
driver and dts accordingly.

If they are using tree, they must go with binding docs and update driver/bindings accordingly.

+ device_tree.

Cheers,
Biju
