It's at least better than adding an undocumented string. But TBH,
this looks like "what can I do to avoid converting the dt binding
to yaml". Which eventually has to be done anyway, so now might be
a good opportunity for that :)

But looking at sama7g5_config above again, will that also be the
correct values for the generic sam9x60?
