3 people tried to explain this already and we all told you the same thing.

* 1 patchset per maintainer: clk and dt
* bindings must be dedicated patches - never mixed with driver code.

I strongly suggest that you take some time to (re)read:
* https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html
* https://docs.kernel.org/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.html

If still unclear, please take some time to look at the kernel mailing
list archive and see how others have done the same things.

Thx.
