As I mentioned I don't have final authority to say yes or no to DT bindings.
I have expressed my opinion and I thing allowing this to be generic via DT
bindings gives no incentive to get the firmware story right. Hence I am happy
to see this as one-off driver change and then we more changes are added to
the driver or similar drivers get added in the future, we have a change to
demand what action has been taken to fix the firmware story.

Just adding DT support(which I disagree) will make future platform to just
use it and not get improvements in areas of discovery or query from the
firmware.
