Please make bindings separate a patch.

I'm pretty sure this doesn't represent a h/w device. This usage doesn't 
encourage me to accept the interconnects binding either.

That's pretty useless...

Someone in QCom please broadcast to stop using qcom,foo for node names. 
It is amazing how consistent you all are. If only folks were as 
consistent in reading 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt.
