I don't think we even have to worry about the platform_data case here:
the only platform using this hardware in Linux is arm/mach-spear, and
it defines a device node with a binding that is similar to the one you
document here but that is not implemented in the driver.

So, I think for all practical purposes we can assume that nobody cares
if you make incompatible changes as long as you don't introduce build
regression.

Also, please adapt the 	arch/arm/boot/dts/spear13*.dts{,i} files
as good as you can. They are broken in other ways too that you don't
have to fix, just make them conform to the binding you add.
