You don't have to submit a driver to submit a binding. Examples of bindings that are not supported by any upstream driver: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/wireless/esp,esp8089.txt Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpu/arm,mali-utgard.txt Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpu/arm,mali-midgard.txt and there are probably more.
