Subject: [PATCH] docs: dt: submitting-patches: Add note about other project usage
In an attempt to make it more broadly known that other projects are
equal consumers / users of the device tree bindings, add a note to
submitting patches to say that extra care and consideration may need to
be taken when updating existing bindings.
