You again skipped all of the maintainers. Your patch won't be applied.
You need to send the patch to the appropriate person so he/she could
apply it.

+Maxim Semiconductor MAX8903 Battery Charger bindings
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: "maxim,max8903-charger" for MAX8903 Battery Charger
+- dc_valid: Specifies that the DC portion of the MAX8903 has been
connected up
+ and that dok-gpios should be specified

You don't need the dc_valid nor the usb_valid. If the dok-gpios are
present - use DC power. If the uok-gpios - USB power.

I did think that as well, but I didn't want to break backwards
compatibility.

What do you mean by backwards compatibility? The driver did not support
DeviceTree before so it is not about DT compatibility. If you think
about platform data then it is different: how you match DT into driver's
structure is up to you.
Ah okay, I misunderstood you here. I thought you meant remove usb_valid and dc_valid from the platform data. However determining usb and dc validity from the gpios set in the DT does make more sense. I will do that!



If both or none: print error.
Its valid to have both connected.

Ah, okay. Just an example.



BTW, It would be nice if send also the user of this bindings - DTS/DTSI.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean here?
The DTSI file used is almost identical to the copy I included in the bindings document. Other then some extra pinmux stuff.

Thanks,
Chris

I mean I would like to see the DTS file which is using this device and
these bindings. It is not necessary but it would be nice.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

+Optional properties:
