Your changelog explains patches, which is kind of redundant - we see
that - but does not explain the dependency you have here between patches.

A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "bindings". The
"dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings.

There are no "board" bindings, so this does not feel like correct path.

What is the difference between these?

Keep list sorted.
