I don't think that driver will be broken. You can build them, use them
on out of tree HW. And when this patch is merged to mainline it will be
enabled for xilinx soc.

Normally driver is merged via appropriate subsystem with DT binding doc
and enabled for the soc/platform later.
Also in connection to process which you have described above.
DT node should match binding which is in your tree and should go first
and then enabling for certain SoC on the top.

TBH I can't see any reason to do merges but if you want to do that way
we can also do it.

Thanks,
