Heads up for the maintainers will be useful. For example: Will be good to state in cover-letter instead of just stating https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10717641/ State: Bindings are in discussion[2], will confirm if approved and will check if rebase is necessary. This will indicate to the maintainer that patches are preliminary and subject to change depending on bindings discussion and developer has taken ownership of maintaining patch sanity. -- Regards, Nishanth Menon
