No, the point is that I've made some changes in the device tree
bindings validation in the driver, which make the driver without those
changes incompatible with the bindings themselves that I'm
introducing. So I would like the driver to be operational on the
actual commit that introduces the bindings, at least in your tree. I
don't expect merge conflicts to occur in that area of the code.

Thanks,
