Ok, I will verify that, I copied maintainers in.

On a side note I have just noticed that last cycle some dts were merged in the

Please prevent this from happening from now onwards, really please.

Gah, my bad sorry, I missed the examples while removing dependency on the OS
from the bindings.

Yes, consider it done, see above.
