Sure, I get your point. SInce I haven't sent out the crypto driver and
DMA driver subsets yet, let me stop and respin the series with the
dt-bindings changes clubbed with the crypto driver patches in a single
patchset. I can keep the DMA and dts patchsets separate and send them
out separately.

I think that should help maintain the ABI and backward compatibility.
Please let me know if you think otherwise.
