You probably want to loop the DT and DTC maintainers in on this - adding
Frank, Rob and David and leaving context for their reference. It would
probably help if you could explicitly say why the DTB needs to be
annotated and why this annotiation is best done via a DTC modification
(rather than doing something like add new properties, or just guessing
that any phandle reference is a dependency).
