I understand [1] discussing the need for the bindings to be a "separate patch" means a separate patch from the _driver_ for the device, not the MAINTAINERS change.

And I see no reason to add a separate patch just for MAINTAINERS change. > > [1]: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt -- Sakari Ailus sakari.ailus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
