No problem on the kernel mailing lists actually, we love to mail
bomb each other here. Yeah maybe we are a bit weird :/

I understand that it is annoying.

In my experience Krzysztof and Rob (now added on To) are usually
quite responsive and helpful, so something must have made them
miss it I think.

As subsystem maintainer, if the DT reviewers haven't said anything
in ~2 weeks I tend to sanity check the binding as best I can and then
merge it. The bigger and more complex it is the more hesitant I get to
do this...
