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.
