Still, the naming is confusing. With that prefix you are saying this
patch is something generic about cpu cooling and thermal dts. And that
is not what this patch is about.

Saying "arm: dts: add cpu cooling bindings for Exynos" is a short and
direct subject. Besides, you have the plus to call the attention of the
ARM and device tree maintainers. It will be also in my radar.


The original subject also makes me think you are dealing with C code,
while the former says already upfront that you are talking about arm dts
bindings.
