Yes, I also found that PDF file.  It's somewhat similar to what
Raspberry Pi provides with its reduced schematics -- helpful to
an extent, but still leaving a lot to be desired.

Out of curiosity, what did you actually use as a reference to create
the board dts file?  Perhaps some downstream dts file provided by
the manufacturer or found in some operating system image?
