This breaks existing/older users of this DTS, because old kernel will
not accept it. It also creates dependency on the drivers which is
NOWHERE explained as merging constraint in cover letter.

If you are silent about this, how maintainers can make proper call?

Your cover letter AND THIS PATCH must be very explicit about all
constraints.
