Both of these are pretty minor comments, more suggestions really
so feel free to ignore if you prefer way it is.

Do you want to call this? It is just reading a bunch of DT
properties you don't have, and if you are using some of them
they should probably go in the binding docs.

I would still be tempted to kmemdup static arrays for these
rather than kcallocing and filling in manually.
