I disagree.  For one, only 'opp-hz' is defined in ./opp.tx.  Secondly
it would be annoying to have to have to keep jumping between documents
to obtain the whole picture.  Finally, generic bindings are repeated
in platform/device specific documentation all the time.  Grep for
'clocks' or 'regulator-* or 'interrupts' or 'reg' or 'clock-frequency'
(which IMHO I think you should have used instead of 'opp-hz', but
that's by the by), or any number of other generic properties.

No one knows this stuff better than you.  If you can't think of an
already existing binding that could suit to portray our 'cuts' and
'substrate' information (with a similar way to support our "all cuts"
and "all substrates" options, then there probably isn't one. ;)
