I guess we are somehow misunderstanding each other.
Lets go with an example. I can put the header into a commit of its own,
just like commit
5794dda109fc8 dt-bindings: reset: mt7986: Add reset-controller header file
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220105100456.7126-2-sam.shih@mediatek.com

Would that be acceptable? And if not, why?
