No need to be sorry :-).

Lets ignore the code for now, as code can be changed easily.

Bindings are not something you or I maintain, so we don't have final
word there, and I have feeling this is not going to go past device
tree maintainers. [AFAICT: you can move binding in Documentation/ to
different place, that's not a problem; but creating a new binding when
old one exists is.]

If you and Dan feel that is okay, you are welcome to try to get the
patches past Rob, just please retain the NAK so that he remembers the
discussion, and so that it is clear that I don't like the changes.

I believe smart thing to do is to try to do that before working
further on the code, but of course, its all up to you :-).

Friends,
									Pavel
