Please use scripts/get_maintainers.pl to get a list of necessary people
and lists to CC (and consider --no-git-fallback argument). It might
happen, that command when run on an older kernel, gives you outdated
entries. Therefore please be sure you base your patches on recent Linux
kernel.

Drop "bindings for" and instead describe the hardware.

Supported by what? By bindings? Or driver? Drop, instead, describe the
hardware.

Is it a generic property? Does not look like. All non-standard
properties need vendor prefix.

I don't understand this and it is very close to duplicate the property
name. Describe what it does in the hardware, not in the driver, so it
will be justified to have it in bindings in the first place.

Missing units.

thread? So Linux kthread? Nope, not a bindings property.

Driver? Not hardware? So drop the property.

Not a bindings property.

Nothing else is required?

If this is a SPI device, then you miss spi-peripheral-props.

CE0? Isn't chip select obvious from the reg=0?

Will do. Thanks for your other comments - I've got some work to do.
