This moves the binding in the wrong direction. First of all, you should never
make incompatible changes to a specification document.

The binding before your change is already broken since it refers to
Linux-specific Kconfig symbols, and you fail to fix that.

Instead you make it worse by using /more/ Linux-isms in the binding.
