Hi Krzysztof,

There are some existing bindings in which this pattern has been
used, so I don't think I am changing binding really.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/thermal-zones.yaml#:~:text=cooling%2Ddevice%20%3D%20%3C%26CPU0%203%203%3E%2C%20%3C%26CPU1%203%203%3E%2C

Would that be good, if I just include the link in the next version?

Thanks,
Alireza
