They cannot be included in the same series. You just think that
including here solves the problem so go ahead, simulate the merging:
1. Bjorn applies soc/qcom/qcom,geni-se.yaml patch and tests. His tree
MUST build, so it also must pass dt_binding_check.
Does it pass? No.

2. SPI maintainer... ah, no point even going there.

Don't grow examples if not needed. Or create dependencies and ask
maintainers to cross-merge.
