Drop, no mailing lists in bindings maintainers. These must be people.

Not what Rob asked. You should use specific SoC compatible as fallback.

You referred to file "raspberrypi,pisbe.yaml" before, but there is no
such file in the next.

Before you reply that there is a binding using different rules: well,
there is always poor code. Above two comments are repeated, especially
this about specific compatible - all the time, so these are not new
rules. These are given in reviews since some years.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
