The confusing part here is that for most[*] subsystems, patches touching
only DT bindings should have a "dt-bindings" prefix, while patches touching
both DT bindings and driver code should have the drivers' subsystem prefix.
[*] I think you're about the only maintainer who insists on patches touching
only DT bindings having the drivers' subsystem prefix, which people tend to
forget, if they're even aware of that rule...
Can we improve this?
Thanks!
