Yes, that's also true. :)

This also would work and help a lot.

It depends in general on the maintainer - for example Greg does not want
to deal with individual patches, especially if DTS is just one patch and
USB would be 10 of them. Our toolset is not good for picking up 10 out
of 11. For all such cases - please provide link to lore.

If however there are just two patches - one DTS and one for maintainer -
then having them in one patchset should not cause additional effort for
the maintainer.

As you can see on the list, majority of patchsets consist of
bindings+DTS. Pretty often entire piece - bindings+driver+DTS.

Best regards,
