That rule is in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt. I generally only ask to respin and split bindings if there's other changes. >> > drivers/usb/misc/usb251xb.c | 84 >> > +++++++++++++++++++--- >> > 2 files changed, 78 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) >> > >> > diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/usb/usb251xb.txt >> > b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/usb/usb251xb.txt >> > index 3957d4eda..3d84626d3 100644 >> > --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/usb/usb251xb.txt >> > +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/usb/usb251xb.txt >> > @@ -6,7 +6,8 @@ Hi-Speed Controller. >> > Required properties : >> > - compatible : Should be "microchip,usb251xb" or one of the specific >> > types: >> > "microchip,usb2512b", "microchip,usb2512bi", "microchip,usb2513b", >> > - "microchip,usb2513bi", "microchip,usb2514b", "microchip,usb2514bi" >> > + "microchip,usb2513bi", "microchip,usb2514b", "microchip,usb2514bi", >> > + "microchip,usb2517", "microchip,usb2517i" >> > - reset-gpios : Should specify the gpio for hub reset >> > - reg : I2C address on the selected bus (default is <0x2C>) >> > >> > @@ -36,6 +37,7 @@ Optional properties : >> > an invalid value is given, the default is used instead. >> > - compound-device : indicate the hub is part of a compound device >> > - port-mapping-mode : enable port mapping mode >> > + - speed-led-mode : led speed indiation mode selection (usb2517 only) >> >> This is a boolean or has values?

Properties are either common (either from DT Spec or a class of device (clocks, regulators, USB device, USB hubs, etc.)) or vendor specific. I haven't looked at which other ones specifically could be common for hubs or USB devices and which ones should be MicroChip specific.
