I'm not a DT expert but AFAIK the kernel should expect the data in a FDT to be
correct and should not validate it on runtime. There is work-in-progress to add
a proper schema checking for DTS to the dtc so on build time it can be validated
that a DTS is valid.

AFAIU the only thing that the kernel should check is if a required property does
not exist.

What are you describing is how the DT binding works for other Maxim PMICs that
also have DVS support right? (e.g: max8997).

The DVS binding in max77686/802 is actually a subset of the one in max8997 so it
let's you only choose which single DVS index is going to be used. The GPIOs in
"max77686,pmic-buck-dvs-gpios" should match "pmic-buck-default-dvs-idx".

To be honest I just took the DT binding that was used in the max77xxx driver
from the Chrome OS 3.8 kernel and didn't compare it with other Maxim PMICs DT
bingings.

I wonder if I should just take the DVS patches out from this initial version to
avoid blocking the max77802 support and then we can discuss this in more detail.
