TI? Never heard something like this from them... Such requirement would
seriously slow down any work, so it's not really reasonable. Expectation
is to post both binding change and an user, so DTS, in case of USB in
separate patchsets.

Otherwise you will get such questions, so your biondings patches also
won't have easy path to merging...
