Sure, but testing, especially by people not in the recipients or CC list,
is a bit painful when the full set of patches isn't bundled together.
Having them bundled together shows what the submitter tested and makes
it easier for others to reproduce.

AFAIK other ARM platforms have been sending patches all grouped together.
It's MediaTek that has been different, as they normally have (for Chromebooks)
a system integration engineer handling the device tree stuff, while component
driver owners just handle the drivers, and by extension, the DT bindings.

Most maintainers seem to know what to do: apply the subset destined for
their tree. At least the subsystems that frequently deal with DT-based
platforms anyway.
