Hi Billy,

A few comments inline.

Thanks,

I think you need a | after description if you want the formatting to be
maintained (otherwise it will undo the line breaks).

Please wrap lines at 80 chars unless it badly hurts readability.

I would use threshold rather than bound.   A bound restricts the
value, and I think this is measuring it?

I'm not clear from this description.  Is this describing an externally
connected voltage reference?  If so it needs to be done as a regulator.
If it's a classic high precision reference, the dts can just use
a fixed regulator.

This isn't (I think?) a standard dt binding, so it needs a manufacturer
prefix.
