I believe you also need to add this to
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/
For simple i2c devices that only have a name, address and possibly an
interrupt, there's no need to document a binding (it hasn't been done
in the past for the vast majority of those devices).
But then how do you find out if there is a existing binding for a device
without searching in the kernel source tree?
That's a silly question, since today that is exactly what you do to
find out, since the Documentation/devicetree isn't the canonical
location for _all_ bindings anyway -- some are in ePAPR, some are in
the old IEEE1275 docs, and some are based on whatever the vendor that
first introduced the device chose (Apple, and some other vendors,
mostly PowerPC ones).
I would like to keep a list of new bindings though, but I agree with the
argument that a lot of bindings don't need a separate file with a whole
bunch of meaningless boilerplate.
