Thanks for the review. I put the explanation in the binding description
as suggested in the V2 review here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/a73ab4e3-520e-4515-adaf-ed5ec644e5f6@baylibre.com/

But if it's better, I will move it in the commit message instead in V4
of this patch series.

Best regards,
Ariana
