I'm on the wall about that. If we take every vendor specific property,
this file will explode. Not sure I want to do that.

Also, we haven't even finished all the generic bindings. I'm just
adding bindings as I get familiar with each of them and I test them on
hardware I have lying around before sending it out. So, there's where
my focus is right now wrt fw_devlink and DT.

I wonder how many of the vendor specific properties do very similar
things and got in over time. Maybe they can be made generic? What one
did you have in mind?
