This is a friendly reminder during the review process.

It seems my previous comments were not fully addressed. Maybe my
feedback got lost between the quotes, maybe you just forgot to apply it.
Please go back to the previous discussion and either implement all
requested changes or keep discussing them.

Thank you.

In your previous patch, put it already in desired place (after
"required:"), so you will not have to shuffle it.

Why do you need "brcm,bcmbca-hsspi"? Nothing binds to it, so it's
useless and very generic.

Same here.

Drop new example - the difference is only in reg. Or change old example
to have only one (newer, more complex).
