The background is that because the existing inno hdmi driver on the main line has some interfaces that can be public,
its yaml counterpart attempts to make a public reference file

These descriptions are based this file, and because their roles are close, only some key elements have been changed
of course, I will make corresponding modifications according to your remarks

Yes , "do not create fake bindings just to instantiate your drivers." , I got this message ,
In lastest patchset, there was a display-subsystem dt-binding with no reg , I deleted it.

reg != syscon reg , got it .
I will restructure the code structure in the next version to meet this requirement,
so that this dts node can not be added, same with yaml file.

In fact, I have used the check instruction, the result is pass with no warning, is there a difference in the command?
