It's not wrong but it's partially unacceptable, at least on my side.

In my opinion (and I believe many do agree with me), sending the binding along
with the driver is the right choice, and if you also want to include the dts
that is also appreciated: series can go through multiple maintainers applying
subsets - it's ok to do.

I want to put emphasis on sending the binding with the driver, as this allows
for a better review on everyone's side because we do see the full picture and
we can give better advices: in this case, I'm not sure whether adding a new
compatible for MT7988 in an enum is a good idea, as the compatible string may
be shared with one of the *eleven* SoCs that are supported in the PWM driver,
meaning that (hardware speaking!) the PWM controller in 7988 might be the same
as the one in mt1234.

Thanks for the great work that you're doing on the bindings btw.
Keep it up!
