Understood — thanks for pointing this out. My interpretation of the DT
submission workflow was incorrect. Keeping OF code while dropping the
binding is not acceptable, regardless of intent.
I will remove all remaining DT/OF usage in the next revision so the driver
is fully independent of DT. If DT support becomes necessary later, I will
submit both the bindings and the driver-side DT code together in a single
series, following the expected process.
Please let me know if this is the correct direction for the next revision.
thanks and regards,
