I'm not going to review a driver with bindings without those bindings
being documented, it's a well documented requirement and apart from
anything else it's not really possible to review the code that manages
the bindings without seeing the bindings.

No, if you need a generic property add it in the generic code rather
than just hacking a device specific property into your driver.
