No, describe the hardware, not "this binding".

Don't say what schema does or does not. It's completely redundant.
Describe the hardware.

Your entire commit is redundantn and not helpful at all.

No, phys are not syscons. I already told you that in v1.

No other binding references this. Don't write completely different code
than all other SoCs. This entire binding is written such way.

Why do you need it? Also, order things according to example schema.
