yeah, ok.  That is more clear.

btw, we don't actually rely on the ordering in the parsing code.
Although I think it is more readable if it is kept sorted.  So I
suppose consider that as more of a suggestion.

Well, unfortunately since devices that run upstream kernel are few and
far between, I get to port upstream driver to more downstream device
kernels than I'd care to.  To simplify this, as much as possible I'd
like to share DT binding code.  The alternative is more error prone
and time consuming, and it's not exactly like I'm running out of
things to do.

Not sure I understand.  The gpu-freq we need.  I could drop the NOTE,
although it does kind of explain why a simple list of integers is not
used.

Anything added later would be optional, ofc, for backwards compat.

oh, yes.  I kinda thought the use of "compatible" everywhere was
enough that it would be obvious that this meant "pick one"..

I guess re-arranging as a bullet-list would make that more clear.
