+ a few others, some who have had trouble with DT on this driver

The thing is, the kernel tree is not necessarily the definitive source
for device tree files. Just because no one's using these in the kernel
DTS (or board) files doesn't mean no one can. People can maintain
out-of-tree DTS files, and even bake them into their firmware, as long
as they use the standard bindings. That's kinda why DT becomes ABI...
That said, I don't expect most people using this could expect that kind
of stability with the current situation (and that's why we'd like to
improve it). And I think the Debian folks who tripped over the m25p80
bindings were using the kernel-provided device trees. So I might be OK
with this. I'd like to see if anyone else has comment to the contrary,
though.
