No, it's a very good reason to delay merging something.  A DT binding is
an ABI so we need to sort out interface issues and describe things as
well as we can, with board files it's not an ABI so we can just do any
old thing that happens to work and while it might not be ideal it
doesn't really matter since we can change it later if we need to.
