Sorry I had to take it back out, because the <dt-bindings/*> stuff in the
other patch should also be in this patch rather than in the driver.

Please move that over here, and if you insist on those macros, also
use them in the example so we understand how this is supposed to
be used, i.e. also add a consumer node to the bindings example
if it is gonna use magic macros.
