If you think it would be worth to switch to say "energymicro,location" I think it wouldn't be that hard, because I think there are no boards in the wild that use a device tree and don't use the BSP I'm providing where switching is a no brainer. > > What's this binding for anyway?

Well, it has to do with pinctrl, but it was agreed that managing it with a single pinctrl device would complicate things considerably and in the end the device tree wouldn't describe how the hardware looks like but would result in a lot of complexity just to fit into the Linux pinctrl model. See the thread around http://marc.info/?l=linux-spi&m=137485291802157&w=2 for the glory details.
