So why does U-Boot have its own copy of any bindings at all?

This is forking the ontology of who gets to define bindings I fear.
It's a bit like have two bibles both claiming to be the word of god.
(OK maybe a hyperbolic statement, but you see what I mean.)

Can't we just have the bindings in the Linux kernel tree please?

Yours,
Linus Walleij
