Since this comes back to something I said, what I didn't want to happen
was a bunch of pinctrl/clock/reset dt-binding headers that getting merged
(and therefore exported to other projects) and then have those change
later on when the chip was taped out. I don't really care if the drivers
themselves get merged. If the JH8100 is being taped out soon (or already
has been internally) and there's unlikely to be any changes, there's not
really a reason to block the binding headers any more.
