That makes sense to me.

As this is a driver, the binding should be added in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/i2c/. Use one of the recently added
existing drivers as a template. Add the binding in a separate commit,
coming before the addition of the driver. When you send it upstream
you will cc the device tree maintainers, who will ack your bindings.
The driver maintainer will then merge the two patches into their tree.

Yeah, I think it just complains for the sake of it.

Did you send a new version?

Cheers,
