+Short description of the bound device, typically the hardware model. It should
+typically be on the format "Vendor Family Model". If acronyms are used, they
+should be spelled out in parentheses. The naming should stay as close to the
+vendor datasheet as possible.
+
+Titles should not exceed 100 characters. The description field should be used
+for longer descriptions. The words "binding", "schema" or "driver" should not
+be used in the title, everything is a binding.
