sorry to bother you, but could you go into a bit more detail on how it 
should be done correctly?

I guess that your message refers to "7. [...] If a driver subsystem 
maintainer prefers to apply entire set, instead of their relevant 
portion of patchset, please split the DTS patches into separate patchset 
with a reference in changelog or cover letter to the bindings submission 
on the mailing list." [1]. If this is the case, is there a general rule 
to determine if a separate patchset is necessary? (I've also noticed, 
that I've wrongly assumed to keep the Documentation and dtsi commit 
together and should've moved the dtsi commit to the end of the patchset)

And do I understand it correctly, that the Documentation/ change is at 
the correct position (only the dtsi commits being problematic)? Based on 
my understanding of "5. The Documentation/ portion of the patch should 
come in the series before the code implementing the binding" [1] this 
should be right before the actual implementation (after all cleanup and 
preparation commits).


Sincerely
     Sven
