I don't understand what does it mean. You can use in your driver
whatever headers you wish, I don't care about them.


noticed the same pattern in ../dt-bindings/sdtv-standarts.h for
instance). What would be the best approach to reusing the same defines
on DT and driver sides from your point of view? Symlink maybe?

Wrap your messages to match mailing list discussion style. There are no
defines used in DT. If there are, show me them in *THIS* or other
*upstreamed* (being upstreamed) patchset.

Whatever you have out of tree or "DO NOT MERGE" does not matter and does
not justify anything.
