Yes, this was my mistake. I assumed get_maintainers would Cc all
relevant people, but I overlooked the fact that these are new files,
so it didn’t include the maintainers. Unfortunately, the same issue
occurred with the clk bindings. Miguel pointed it out at V7, and I
corrected it immediately. There was no intention to bypass anyone.

These bindings had been in my tree since earlier versions, but I
hesitated to post them before V6 because I wasn’t confident in writing
bindings for a framework I didn’t fully understand. I eventually
shared them in V6 to unblock my series but inadvertently missed Cc’ing
few, as mentioned above.

Agree, its better to post these separately.
