Hi,
As a general note it's helpful for devicetree to be Cc'd on the entire
series (though the binding document should be a separate patch) as it
provides useful context for reviewing the binding.

There's no need to abbreviate to "pbl".
Is this a property of the hardware, or configuration that the kernel
will program in? If the latter, why can the kernel not choose?

If that's the case, why not have just this property and have it imply
the use of fixed burst mode?
When is it necessary to use fixed burst mode?

When would this be selected, and why can the kernel not choose?

Likewise, why can the kernel not choose.

Likewise for both points.

Some of these properties appear to be missing from the example. Are they
required or optional?
Thanks,
