I am not reviewing patches not bothering to cc maintainers, but to spare
you from obvious resubmits of v4:

A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "device tree bindings". The
"dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings.
See also:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.17-rc3/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.rst#L18
(you could not make more redundant subject...)

Node names should be generic. See also an explanation and list of
examples (not exhaustive) in DT specification:
https://devicetree-specification.readthedocs.io/en/latest/chapter2-devicetree-basics.html#generic-names-recommendation
If you cannot find a name matching your device, please check in kernel
sources for similar cases or you can grow the spec (via pull request to
DT spec repo).


Best regards,
Krzysztof
