This is what you want to include in the bindings document? How is it
related to bindings? We do not talk about driver API but we talk about
hardware. Bindings are for the hardware.

I don't see such comment from Rob (DT maintainer):
https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=%22dt-bindings%3A+fpga%3A+add+binding+doc+for+microchip-spi+fpga+mgr%22

Can you point me to it?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
