What does it mean "optional"? Hardware can miss them or they can be
restricted by firmware? Which board has such issue?

Your commit must explain this.

I don't think it is possible that register in binding causes anything.
Linux does not parse the binding doc. You are changing bindings based on
some issues in your drivers.

Fix your drivers.

NAK, ABI break based on issues on drivers. Fix your drivers.
