I would only list the index definitions in the binding if they
are common across all chips using that binding.

that others follow it as well, but it's also possible that another
chip completely screwed up that system because it didn't fit
otherwise.

Ideally the binding should follow closely what is documented
in the data sheet.

Ok.
