Ok, I'll improve this property documentation.

I thought it was the opposite. That a DT binding document has to be added along
with the first user of the binding but I'll separate the DT doc in another patch

Thanks a lot for all your suggestions, I'll wait a little to see if there is
more feedback and repost a v3 addressing all the issues you pointed out.

Best regards,
