Okay, I'll update the subject.

The DTS changes are handled in driver. The driver is compatible with
older DTS as well. dt bindings check will fail but that will request
the users to switch to new DTS. Will that be fine?

This is handled in driver code to make sure driver works with old dts
as well. So is this bindings change fine or shall I change it such that
dt bindings check shall pass with older dts as well?
Or as mentioned by Dmitry, I can update the commit message to reflect
that ABI change is intended and driver is compatible with older DTBs as
well.
