2015-03-10dt: submitting-patches: clarify that DT maintainers are to be cced on bindingsMatt Porter
The exact steps provided for submitting binding patches can be read as requiring the bindings to be sent only to the devicetree@vger.kernel.org list. Since the DT maintainers would like to be Cced on any binding submissions, make this requirement explicit in step 2.

2015-02-03Documentation: DT: document compatible string existence requirementPaul Walmsley
DT maintainers require all compatible strings used in chip or board DTS file to be previously documented somewhere in Documentation/devicetree/bindings, per: http://marc.info/?l=linux-tegra&m=142201349727836&w=2 Document this requirement in the DT patch submission requirements text file.

2014-10-21Documentation: dt-bindings: Explain order in patch seriesJavier Martinez Canillas
When posting a patch series that includes both code implementing a Device Tree binding and its associated documentation, the DT docs should come in the series before the implementation. This not only avoids checkpatch.pl to complain about undocumented bindings but also makes the review process easier. Document this convention since it may not be obvious.
