As mentioned in my other comment, please leave out references to the
Linux implementation. The long-term goal is to split out the
bindings from the Linux kernel, because they are used by other
projects as well. We also cannot easily change bindings that are
already established, so referring to a specific version here is not
helpful.

Your descriptions all make sense and I think we should put them
somewhere, but for the binding, we need a more neutral text
that just describes the interface to someone writing a device
tree file.
