Hm, haven't heard about this requirement. Could you point me out to a doc or
some discussion concerning this for future reference? It's not a first DT
conversion patch I've submitted and non of them were addressed with such
request. I do understand that the order of DT concerning patches can be
important and agree to fix it by updating the original legacy binding first,
then perform a conversion. But placing the conversion in a tail of the series
just seems unnecessary. The patch can be dropped from any place of the series
if for some reason Rob would be late with review.

Personally I prefer placing all DT changes in the head of the series, so Rob
wouldn't need to search through the whole patchset looking for the DT-related
patches.
