It is perfectly possible to create a binding for a single
device without making any omissions/errors.
You can do a corrrect implementation, too.
Doing this for a whole platform is not more difficult,
just more works (and the law of big numbers kicks in,
you're likely to make some mistake).

That wouldn't ever be needed if your "binding" isn't
hopelessly lacking.
