It looks like other patches here follow similar process of sending
and applying dt-bindings separately from patches with users of these
bindings. Please don't do it like this. Send the bindings as the first
patch in the series implementing the users (so usually the series with
driver and DTS changes). The new bindings then are applied by the
driver subsystem maintainer.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
