That is because most changes are coupled with drivers. For changes
that are standalone without any dependency, they go thru my tree. If
we're getting any merge conflicts beyond which Linus can/wants to fix,
then there is a problem because bindings shouldn't be changing that
much.

Eventually, I think we need to merge all the bindings thru a single
tree. Otherwise, we'll never move toward moving bindings out of the
kernel (unless we just sync from the kernel tree to a standalone
repo).
