DTS is a description of the hardware and we take it via separate branches of SoC-fami0ly repositories. These are always separated from the driver changes. Always. For several reasons: 1. By convention, 2. To be sure there is no dependency on driver code thus an ABI break, 3. To have a nice and clean history of DTS changes, properly organized. What is more, if this was coming via my Samsung SoC tree towards SoC folks, I could not take it in one branch. I would need to physically split it, otherwise Arnd/Olof would bounce back my pull request saying I am mixing DTS with driver. Of course you do not have such requirement - I am just saying that splitting DTS is quite common and proper way. Best regards, Krzysztof
