Hi, Marcus

The changes you made for dt-bindings and driver should be put into
separate patches.

And the property timeout-sec seems to be generic enough to all devices,
so why not add a common document to describe it and allow those devices
to refer to, like other dt-bindings for other kinds of devices usually
did.
