Indeed it does, thanks for spotting this!

Well, my point was that the 3.8 tree contains only one dp-hpd node, not
two as we would get by adding a new node here.

Apart from Spring, it's used in Snow and SMDK5250, so moving it there
seems feasible and the cleanest solution to me.

I did read and even fix documentation for those bindings that I added
myself in Spring, just not for those that were already in common code,
like this one here.

A tps65090 patch has been ignored since being asked to extend the commit
message, v3 was recently sent. Help getting that in appreciated.

Cheers,
Andreas
