It was, I just wanted to spell out an actual use-case for folks who are
new to devicetree. Also, I was trying to gently poke everyone to take a
look at the mvebu-mbus binding Ezequiel just posted ;-)

Arnd Bergman and Jason Gunthorpe (and others) have reviewed it to death,
but with this new push for review by the devicetree maintainers, we
thought it best to repost it here (devicetree ml) before merging it.

thx,

Jason.
