Joe has been working on upstreaming these boards:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220510154406.v5.1.Id769ddc5dbf570ccb511db96da59f97d08f75a9c@changeid/

I think there is little chance that they won't go upstream at this
point. However, we're at a time in the merge window where it will be
several weeks before anything can land. If Joe were to include this
patch as part of his series I suspect it would be much more confusing
because it would add an unnecessary dependency between my series and
his and make it harder for Bjorn to apply it later. Keeping the patch
with my series means that the series can be applied more easily.

How about: I'll add a link to his latest posting in my next version.
Then, in the future (after these bindings patches have landed) then
future boards can go together with their bindings.
