No, that is not how we handle device tree bindings. They need to be
reviewed, since we are moving over to a model where they will be
considered ABI and can't be changed after the fact. We have a long
backlog of mostly-unreviewed old bindings that we're going to do a
pass through and then lock down, but it would be good to not add to
that backlog with newer bindings.

In other words, there's a strong desire for actual acks on bindings
from those maintainers these days.
