From 44acf10587907ff77c28fd97906220b2d8eb4f05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rob Herring Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2018 16:37:47 -0600 Subject: dt-bindings: submitting-patches: add guidance on patch content and subject Clarify that binding patches should also include include/dt-bindings/* as part of them. The binding doc defines the ABI and the includes are part of that. Add some details on the preferred subject prefix and contents.
