I don't think that's a move in the right direction given this is at 
least partially a standard feature.

As I said before, I'm very hesistant to accept anything here given I 
know the desires and activity to define 'system Devicetrees' of which 
TI is participating. While maybe an rproc node is sufficient for a 
DSP, it seems multiple vendors have R cores and want to define them in 
system DT.

Though the system DT effort has not yet given any thought to what is the 
view of one processor or instance to another instance (which is what 
this binding is). We'll still need something defined for that, but I'd 
expect that to be dependent on what is defined for system DT.
