Document the ir-spi driver's binding which is a IR led driven
through the SPI line.

Move this to bindings/leds, and CC the leds maintainers.

Really this is just an LED connected to a SPI, so maybe this should
just be "spi-led". If being more specific is helpful, then I'm all for
that, but perhaps spi-ir-led. (Trying to be consistent in naming with
gpio-leds).

As I said previously, "switch-gpios" as gpio lines should have a
'-gpios' suffix. Or better yet, "enable-gpios" as that is a standard
name for an enable line.

Negated or inverted assumes I know what normal is. Define this in
terms of what is the on state. If on is normally active low, then this
should be led-active-high. There may already be an LED property for
this.

This is percent time on or off?

More than an LED this is the driver of a remote controller, the
driver itself is under drivers/media/rc/.

Besides all the transmitters have an LED but still they are media
devices. This is a bit special because it's so simple that the
only hardware left is the LED itself, but still it's a media remote
controller.

As I mentioned above, all transmitters have an LED, but they do
not have the 'led' name. "ir-spi" is coherent with the device
driver name and the driver name is coherent with the media/rc
driver's naming.

OK, thanks!

Yes, thanks!

Will add more details, thanks.

If it's OK for you, I would keep the name and documentation path
and fix the rest. Please let me know if I'm missing something :)

Thanks,
Andi

The hardware is just an LED though and bindings describe h/w. What you 
are using it for doesn't really matter. You only need to know it's an IR 
led.

The driver name is irrelevant to the binding.

It's not OK for me.
