Thanks! I'll interpret your response as:

1. Keep this as two patches and it's more important to keep dts and
bindings separate than it is to avoid breaking bisectability of "make
dtbs_check".

2. Bindings should have been patch #1, but it's not a massive deal.

3. I'll assume that Bjorn will yell if he'd like this series re-posted
with the reverse order.
