Right, you can't really merge this driver binding until the binding is
done and acked. Your binding would be referring to a binding doc that
doesn't exist in the tree if you merge this.

While I think the binding looks fine, I'm not going to go around Mark
either. He's invested the most thought in this (of DT maintainers) and
should be the one to ack it. The part I'm not clear what the purpose
of "pool-hwlock" was.
