No, I meant above dependencies. You said that these patchset, including
DTS, depends on above. Above are drivers and that's a no go. I said it
multiple times already in various occasions.

Patchset should be organized per maintainers subsystem, but that's
different question.

As mentioned in other threads, I closed my tree a week ago (if you are
surprised, notice kernel cycles and development process), so review will
happen a bit later.

So not really a dependency so again: just provide links to the bindings.
