Right, I get that.

Yeah that part seems strange to me. Any OF handling in a driver should
be written per the binding spec (YAML file), I believe, how can you
write it in the driver without reviewing the binding first?

Yes, I get that too, but still you have a driver code that (I believe)
ought to be written to the binding, but have deliberately excluded the
binding. So I don't think the code should be present either?

Sure, understood, I just think there's a code dependency too, per above.
