Ah, I understood your question now :-). You meant 'required' property.
I need more coffee, I guess :-). I am not sure if you can add
properties as required after bindings are already mainlined for
compatibility issues. The problem with this SoC is that drivers become
mainlined before the device tree was so if things are properly fixed
now this kind of issues appear. Let's see Krzysztof and Rob comments
for this.
