Your tag is the last one.

There is no blank line here.

Please instruct your Grok to follow existing sources, not come with
whatever it wants.

There is no such generic property. You need vendor prefix. Wasn't this
already discussed for Rpi? I feel like every time contributors send
downstream DTS ignoring what was discussed upstream.

You said nothing more than property name and type. Explain what for.

Missing ref to rtc.

Honestly, at this point you clearly did not take existing bindings at
your starting point.

Nope. Again, take existing bindings. This looks like LLM slop.

A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "bindings". The
"dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings.
