Ouch ... sorry. There is some leftover block from another text based
binding document which I used as an example while writing out the
battery parameters BD99954 uses.

There's two other hiccups when I try running make dt_binding_check. I
assume they are false positives.

<SIDE NOTE>
Although... Back in my Nokia days I joined in a trainer-training. I had
excellent British coach - Graham if I remember correctly - who told us
never to assume. He explained where word ass-u-me comes from. I can
still hear his very British accent: "It makes an ass out of u and me".
I still do so though. I'm not learning easily it seems.
</SIDE NOTE>

1. It seems to me the multipleOf: is not recognized. I guess it
should(?) I will comment it out in v3 though until I get confirmation
it should work.

2. schema validation for:

  rohm,vsys-regulation-microvolt:
    description: system specific lower limit for system voltage.
    minimum: 2560000
    maximum: 19200000
    #multipleOf: 64000

fails. But when I change this to
  rohm,vsys-regulation-microvolts: (plural)
it seems to be passing the validation. A git grep under
Documentation/devicetree/bindings reveals that both plural and singular
are used - but the singular seems to be far more popular than plural.
It also looks like the 'core bindings' like regulators use singular.
Hence I'll leave this to singular for v3 even though it fails the
validation - please let me know if this was wrong choice or if you spot
any other oddities there. I can't see what else it could be but for
some reason I still find this yaml terribly hard :(

Hmm.. I wonder if I have some old checker tools installed and used on
my PC? I also get validation failures for the example schemas :/

I have the RFC v3 almost finished. Hope to find the time to finish and
submit it still today :)

Thanks and regards
