Binding is almost always separate from DTS and always separate from
driver. The order depends on what you're doing. If you bring ABI break
change to bindings, then the order does not matter, because each order
will be non-bisectable. Because you broke ABI. That's the case in this
patchset.

For other cases, usually bindings patches should be the first in patchset.

How it goes via maintainer trees is not your problem here. Patches might
go together or might go separate.

Anyway it was not the topic of my comment. Comment was about not
specific commit msg which does not fit the Linux kernel process and does
not fit git history once applied by maintainer. It fits even less when
backported to stable kernels, which you commit msg encourages to do.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
