Hello Krzysztof,

Do I have to post a v2 for this patch? You had Acked it initially but I
am not sure if the discussion so far will make it unclear to readers
regarding the acceptance of this patch. Thank you for Acking the v3 DTS
patch at:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/patch/20240404124614.891416-1-s-vadapalli@ti.com/

Since the v3 DTS patch mentions this bindings patch as a dependency, I
wanted to be sure whether I have to post a v2 for this or that won't be
required.

Regards,
Siddharth.
