The MAINTAINERS entry for device tree bindings does not state a git tree and I've never seen any of the maintainers send a pull request for DT binding files. (Beat me up properly if you have, guys.) I've seen Grant send some at times.
Err, what?
$ git log --merges --grep='Pull.*(Herring|Likely)' --oneline Documentation/devicetree/
OK nice, bad research from me. My sloppy statement was based on this:
OPEN FIRMWARE AND FLATTENED DEVICE TREE M: Rob Herring robh+dt@kernel.org M: Frank Rowand frowand.list@gmail.com M: Grant Likely grant.likely@linaro.org L: devicetree@vger.kernel.org W: http://www.devicetree.org/ T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/glikely/linux.git S: Maintained F: drivers/of/ F: include/linux/of*.h F: scripts/dtc/
The DT core code and bindings (which don't go thru subsystem trees) go together.
I guess I should just send a patch adding
F: Documentation/devicetree/*
I see you found it is already there...
...and hope things get better from that.
I suggest sending U-Boot DT bindings to not only devicetree@vger.kernel.org but also, as indicated, to Jon Corbet and linux-doc.
I'd suggest devicetree-spec@vger for common things. Perhaps we need a better name, but the whole point of this was to separate the common issues from the firehose and have multiple OS participation.
Hm, wasn't devicetree@vger.kernel.org supposed to be for that?
Yes, but BSD developers complained about all the Linux driver patches, so devicetree-spec was created as was devicetree-compiler to try to separate out the lower volume stuff. We need to do more with MAINTAINERS so that common bindings go to devicetree-spec.
