We shouldn't have any Linux-specific bindings. It might be reasonable to define a binding for a "simple CODEC", but there's no reason it should be Linux-specific.
Further, just define the type of codec h/w. If linux can use its simple-codec driver for it, then add a match table entry for said codec. Then the DT is future proof when you decide the simple driver doesn't really work for that h/w.
So, this is what I keep telling people to do but lots of people don't want to do this - it eliminates the need have this binding at all since if you know which type of device you have there's no need to specify fixed properties of the device via DT.
