Apologies for the delay in getting back on this. This is not a matter
of willingness — we have a dependency on our OEM partners to provide an
upstream DTS user, as this binding is intended for use on their
platforms.

We reached out to them, and they have confirmed that they are unable to
upstream their DTS at this time. Given this constraint, we will hold
off on pushing this binding upstream for now. We will reassess and
return to this thread if and when the situation changes.

Best regards,
Avinash

Do not top post.

If you are not willing to post DTS, then you are not helping us to understand the completeness of this binding and hardware description.
IOW, the bigger picture is missing, so IMO I would remove most of the properties.
