But to what degree is this related to a specific set of platforms? If we
look ahead, aren't we expecting the list to grow to include all
platforms in the end - resulting in a lot of noise and churn.

Can you give an example of a platform where there is no interconnect
path to vote for here or where it would be harmful to do so?

The binding should not reflect what has been implemented and verified in
Linux, it defines the contract between DeviceTree and the OS.
