To be fair, "dt-bindings: tpm: " is actually the only prefix used
so far for the file that's touched here:

$ git log --oneline Documentation/devicetree/bindings/tpm/tcg,tpm-tis-i2c.yaml 
26c9d15 dt-bindings: tpm: Consolidate TCG TIS bindings

Personally I don't think we need to differentiate between spi/i2c/mmio
bindings in the prefix, so the prefix used by Michael seems fine.

Right, so maybe just:

dt-bindings: tpm: Add st,st33ktpm2xi2c

?

Right, the order of the patches needs to be reversed it seems.

Thanks,
