Why Rob's comments got ignored?

This is not a soc component.

Explain what is eSPI.

That's not simple-mfd. You have driver for this. Drop.

That's not syscon. Why do you have ranges then? Where is any explanation
of hardware which would justify such combination?

That explains nothing. Unless you wanted to use here MTD bindings.

This binding did not improve much. I don't understand why this is not
SPI (nothing in commit msg, nothing in description), what is eSPI, why
do you need child device, what are other children (commit msg is quite
vague here). Why there is no MTD bindings here?

All this looks like crafted for your driver, instead of using existing
DT bindings like SPI or MTD/NAND. This is a strong no-go.

No items, just use enum.

Fix your style in DTS. There is always a space after ','.
