As a recommendation from the recent Kernel Summit stated, you will have 
to separate the binding itself from the driver and associated code.
Simply send the binding documentation to the DT maintainers but still 
keep the two patches linked together in a series (but without putting DT 
maintainers nor the DT mailing-list in CC of the non-documentation patches).

This way you may have more chances to get feedback.

Thanks, bye,
