OK. Then I assume you agree that reversing the order of the patches
won't help, only combining the two patches into one.

I have always heard that best practice is to have bindings in a patch
by themselves. If I've misunderstood and/or folks have changed their
minds, that's fine, but historically I've been told to keep them
separate.

OK, fair that in this case both the bindings and the yaml will land
through the Qualcomm tree. I guess it's really up to Bjorn and whether
he'd prefer "make dtbs_check" to be bisectable or whether he'd prefer
the bindings and dts change to be in separate patches from each other.
