RE: Re: [PATCH v2 02/10] dt-bindings: soc: add Ambarella secure scratchpad

[Long Zhao]

Hi Krzysztof,

Thanks for the review.

You are right — the secure scratchpad is only a shared register
region used via syscon (e.g. pinctrl pull control). There is no
dedicated driver and no extra properties, so I'll move the
compatible into syscon.yaml and drop the separate binding in v3.

Best regards!

Why do you need separate binding? What is incomplete here that it cannot go to syscon.yaml?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
