No, that's long time legacy. Use single node.

No, this cannot be flexible. Please do not write bindings completely
different than everything else.
List the items, fix size/length of the array.

No. Use single node.

That's wrong in this context. Please read example-schema or writing
schema.

We don't use such code... Look at any decent DTS.

Drop
This is a pretty poor binding. You just repeat basic mistakes, fixed in
other NEW bindings. Last time few-line patch, with obvious issues, had
two reviewed-by from Altera. This one - bigger patch - no one cared to
review?
