I'm not sure if this is a good approach. I've noticed also that
backlight bindings have been moved to leds, whereas they don't look
similarly.

We have common.txt LED bindings, that all LED class drivers' bindings
have to follow. Neither backlight bindings nor these ones do that,
which introduces some mess.

Eventually adding a sub-directory, e.g. remote_control could make it
somehow logically justified, but still - shouldn't bindings be
placed in the documentation directory related to the subsystem of the
driver they are predestined to?
