Subject: not much improved. I am sorry, but you are not adding new
properties to entire devicetree of entire world. You are actually not
adding anything to any devicetree, because these are bindings (which is
obvious, as said by prefix).

You got comments on this.

Don't repeat what the code does. Explain why you are adding it, what is
the purpose.

Why this is a property of hardware?

Why this is a property of hardware?
