Is there some way to have this consistent for all subsystems? Most
subsystems seem to use:

dt-bindings: [subsystem]:

But some use:

[subsystem]: dt-bindings:

Casual contributors (like me) will very often get it wrong on the first
try. Examining the history is extra effort that could be avoided and
often doesn't provide a definite hint as you find both variations in the
past.

Can we standardize this and make checkpatch validate the subject line?
