I'm not convinced we want the earlier device tree binding doc at all.
In the vast majority of cases that chunk on providers is irrelevant.
What matters is to document the specific case as you have done here.

So this one I like, the earlier document less so, simply because
it repeats what this more specific document has described.

So Rob, what do you think of 'just' this bit?
