I believe that to avoid cross-trees patchsets (which are sometimes
tricky for maintainers) there are two ways of submiting such changes:
1. dt-binding + driver; then (separately) DTS
2. dt-binding + DTS; then (separately) driver

I chose later in this case as my personal priority right now is to deal
with all MediaTek DTS files.

Is that wrong or unacceptable?

It can control 8 PWMs unlike any other SoC block except for MT2712.
It uses different registers than MT2712 thought.
