Conceptually I'm fine with this.

The only comment I have is that some bindings refer to other bindings, 
e.g. an I2C controller binding might refer to the core I2C binding to 
define core I2C properties. Since this patch moves a couple files 
between directories, did you double-check that none of the pathnames in 
those references need fixing up?
