We did that 2 or 3 times in the past without commnts that it is not desired so I wasn't aware that this would be special handling. Merging binding and devicetree updates together looks to me like the most sensible option since dtbs validation is the only testable dependecy of dt binding updates. Keeping them together ensures the dtbs validate without delaying devicetree changes by one kernel release after the dt-bindings change was merged. I suppose it works out most of the time if the merge request is sent only if it validates in next. That still depends on the merge order in the merge window but -rc1 should be fine. I'll consider devicetree validation as eventually valid from now on and not care too much about it. Janne
