It might be the only SoC now, but I could imagine that other will have
something similar in the future. I am not perfectly sure, though. So, I
asked for opinions from DT experts when I suggested those bindings. We
could start with vendor specific bindings and generalize them later if
similar ones appear. Yet my experience is that old drivers rarely get
converted to the new bindings.

Yeah, it is missing sadly. That's on my todo-list, like many other
things...
