We can talk about 96xx. Can you point me to the SoC named exactly like
this? Hint: I checked it.

Enable what? None of these explains why do you need this entry alone,
since it is covered by list further.

Not sure, it sounds like it ignores our entire discussion. What's the
name of the SoC? I see "OcteonTx2 CN9130", not "OcteonTx2". I linked
your previously guide how to write bindings. Did you read it?
