Sorry, I disagree.

A binding is a way to describe a specific hardware layout, it isn't the
right place to advice a hardware designer on the implications of a
specific hardware implementation. The NXP hardware design guide is a
more suitable place for this information.

We also don't mention in random bindings that the system won't be able
to brew a fresh cup of coffee.

Lucas
