s/-/,/ as the filename should match the compatible.

This should be the original author of the text binding, provided they're
still responsive.

This comment is obvious, just drop it.

This should retain the comment about the voltages, rather than state the
obvious.

Where did this additional example come from? The chip select looks
rather unlikely and the example has nothing meaningfully different in
it.
I think this should be dropped.
