When you are unsure, it's almost never wrong to go for a separate
branch, which gives you a chance to have a concise description
of the contents in the tag. This would be particularly helpful if there
are incompatible changes to the DT binding that require a justification.

If you are only adding a few DT nodes to existing files, then merging
these through the regular branch is probably easier.
