I don't see how you answered my comment about missing justification.

Rob's questions also were not answered.

Few minor things follow up, but considering missing reasoning I did not
perform full review.

A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "YAML bindings for". The
"dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings.

... and driver. Again - explain the hardware. Bindings are not for driver.

That's completely redundant statement.

As well drop. Your description is pretty obvious and does not help at all.

Missing unevaluatedProperties: false.

And drop all above, except reg and leds. If these are new properties,
then you need to use proper unit suffixes.
