I think you made the right judgement call here. The changes are significant
enough to deserve another look. And you did the right thing by explaining why
you dropped the review tags.

The devicetree bindings should be as complete as possible and not care
if the driver doesn't use everything. So adding them now is the right
thing to do.

I don't think the `|` is needed here. It is only needed when formatting
should be preserved, e.g. you have paragraphs or a list. Or when there
are certain characters like `:` in the text. But neither are the case here.

I would add:

spi-lsb-first;

to this example so that people know it is a possibility.

I don't think we need to list it in the properties though since
it is included by $ref: /schemas/spi/spi-peripheral-props.yaml#.
