We could deprecate national, because it was acquired by TI. But the chip
was actually made by National - the datasheet I found has a National
brand in product brief page and only the title page was added by TI.

From the driver.

TBH, this is, very very old device used in very old boards which I don't
care about. I just want DT schema to be happy, so I don't think the
bindings should be really correct. It's not like anyone will make any
device with it.
