Sorry for jumping in so late. I think this binding documentation needs
to be moved somewhere else. regmap is a Linux kernel specific
implementation detail and therefore has no place in device tree binding
descriptions. Furthermore the endianness properties described herein do
apply to drivers that don't use regmap.

Perhaps we need some top-level file that describes generic properties
such as this?
