Does not look like you tested the DTS against bindings. Please run `make
dtbs_check` (see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/writing-schema.rst
for instructions).

That's my template answer. More detailed:

Please test that your DTS changes always pass your binding changes. The
above looks reversed with your DTS, thus if you tested DTS, you would
see errors. Expecting that existing in-kernel DTS passes dtbs_check is a
bit too much (although Samsung Exynos is almost there!), but at least
new code could not introduce new errors.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
