Any requirement of FWU should not require changes to bindings of other subsystems. For example, for mtd-backed storage we can do without requiring 'fixed-partitions' children to also carry 'uuid', a property which is non-standard and not in the bindings.
There exists no code yet, so we can change the fwu-mtd bindings to contain all properties within the fwu-mdata node.

Hi Rob, Hi Krzysztof,
I was suggested, and I agree, it would be a good idea to get your blessings for the location and meta-data (fwu-mdata) bindings for the FWU.
The FWU images can be located in GPT partitions or MTD backed storage. The basic bindings for fwu-mdata has already been merged in uboot (ideally they too should have had your review). Now I am trying to fully support MTD backed storage and hence looking for your review. The proposed bindings are totally self-contained and don't require changes to any other subsystem.
Thanks.
I think we do not review U-Boot bindings usually, except these put in the Linux kernel. There were few targeting U-Boot specifically (e.g. Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/partitions/u-boot.yaml and Documentation/devicetree/bindings/nvmem/u-boot,env.yaml) so if you want our blessing, the bindings should be done in Linux kernel repo.
I am pretty sure that reviewing other project bindings would be too much of work for me.
Best regards, Krzysztof
