In addition to what Krzysztof already said about you seamingly
confusing the maintenance of the driver vs maintenance of the
device-tree bindings (IOW: structured hardware description) and in
response to your question: I don't see any functional change to any
dt-bindings neither from you nor from Jeff. Are you convinced you can
maintain and properly review any changes?

If so, I don't really care, I can drop myself and have less work.
