I think I'm getting what the requirement is now, but still not sure what
the point of the requirement is.

- Posting bindings and DTS at the same time doesn't guarantee they get
  into the same release.  It can often happen that bindings are merged
  alone into a release.  So it doesn't really help to avoid situation of
  there is bindings in-tree with no users.

- From what I can see, there are always DTS patches coming after bindings
  changes, sooner or later.  No one would be bothered to submit a bindings
  if the DTS using the bindings is only kept out of tree.

In short, there will be Nord DTS using the binding coming, and I do not
think posting them at the same time should be a requirement.
