So the suggestion would be to not document the DT bindings at all,
until we reach a "stable" hardware that is distributed externally?

Note that the Z1 stepping is not completely internal: a small
selection of early customers have access to it. But it normally never
ends up in final products, it's aimed at allowing those early customers
to start their development soon.

I don't mind adjusting how DT bindings are documented for such early
SoCs stepping. But I really believe it's important to have a way to
handle this situation nicely: we've been asking for years SoC vendors
to start upstreaming their code early. Now that they start to do it, we
shouldn't complain and instead adapt to this situation :-)

Best regards,

Thomas
