Yes, it helps if we try standardizing on the brcm vendor prefix in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt.  If you sift
through the bindings directory you will find some of the other vendors
have done the same.

Also, of note.
In Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt
it states the Documentation should be the first patch in the series.
Perhaps this helps the devicetree maintainer in reviewing bindings?
