OK, so I'll update subject and commit message to signal that we only
update the example code.

Either convert it or leave it alone. If you are worried about users' DTs
being wrong due to copying a bad example, then you should care enough to
do the conversion. Given the errors we find in examples, it's likely
not the only problem.

Then I will convert the bindings to the new YAML format and send another
update of this patch-set.
