My bad - The button is labeled with "UPDATE" ... nothing really matches
in the KEYs ... so VENDOR it is.

I have just copy/pasted the section and forgot to update the rest

The CVBS output could be provided on one the GPIO header.
Since it is not really standard, I prefer to keep off and leave to
option to easily turn it on if someone wants to use it.

I'll had a comment for that.

This is at least tied to the related device.

I have discussed "hog" vs "pinctrl" matter with Bartosz Golaszewski and
we could not find any reason not proceed with pinctrl when possible.

No. It is just making sure the pin is claimed and properly configured.

Since our interrupt and gpio controller are completly de-coupled it is
not necessarily the case without it (... and yes, the same is true for the
other device using gpio irqs)
