The old binding said:

    -Required properties of an internal channel when:
    -       - It is the only enabled channel of the bond (or)
    -       - If it acts as primary among enabled bonds

    -- renesas,primary-bond: empty property indicating the channel
acts as primary
    -                       among the bonded channels.

so renesas,primary-bond is required for the only enabled node for
single channels configurations anyway?
