Are you referring to this or something else ?

"""
one patchset containing new arch/foo/Kconfig entry, DTS files, MAINTAINERS file entry and *optionally initial drivers* with their Devicetree bindings
"""

No problem with that, I was merely trying to say that mixing 4 or 5 trees
in a single patchset is pushing it a little and it does not solve the
dependency problem you've mentioned, it just move it.
