Yes, for include/dt-bindings we ask that they are part of the binding doc, not the driver even though both use it. You can also certainly have bindings without drivers though generally we require them. I would not if they had a driver in BSD or u-boot for example. You can already easily see when things are introduced because they will be next to each other in the git history. >> correlate git commits to patchworks or mail searches. > > The fact that it was applied can be found in mail archives. Yes, with extra effort reading the history you can, but not with a script. There's a patchwork script to add commit hashes to patchwork which works all based on the subject. Regardless of one commit or two, you simply shouldn't be changing what you commit. Either commit what was posted or require the author to combine things and repost. That's our job as patch monkeys.
