ASoC, media, regulators and SPI subsystems prefer commits starting with
subsystem name (e.g. "spi: dt-bindings:"), so document this to avoid
confusing contributors.

The 80 characters of the subject are precious. It is recommended to not
use "Documentation" or "doc" because that is implied. All bindings are
docs. Repeating "binding" again should also be avoided.
