Thanks for resending in a proper format. I already replied to your

This is a patch for specific subsystem, so as Rob said, it should follow
subsystem conventions.

The patch itself is a dt-bindings patch, so there is nothing here
special which would encourage for any exception.

I said in comment to your patch with DTS, which you called bindings,
that there are no bindings at all in it. Because in your patch with DTS
you did not include bindings, but you called it bindings.

Here, this is a patch with bindings, so your comment "these are not
bindings" is not true.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
