And what would this commit change? In Git you will have
1. dt-bindings: PCI: renesas,pci-rcar-gen2: Add depends-on for RZ/N1 SoC
family
2. dt-bindings: PCI: renesas,pci-rcar-gen2: 'depends-on' is no more optional

so what is the difference for git bisect?

Requiring property in bindings as a fix for something which was broken
is ok. But this is independent of Linux drivers, which should not stop
working.
