Subject: drop full stop

Use subject prefixes matching the subsystem (which you can get for
example with `git log --oneline -- DIRECTORY_OR_FILE` on the directory
your patch is touching).

Subject: improve is vague. Instead: convert to DT schema

Drop "Bindings for". Actually drop entire line - it's redundant, you
repeat the title.

Split adding new property into separate patch. Each patch should do one
logical change. New feature is another logical change. Conversion is
that logical change (with any fixes needed for successful conversion,
but not with new features).

Use consistent quotes - either ' or "

Drop all examples below, they are not needed. Actually even these two
above could be combined as they differ with only one property.
