That's not valid reason. You only need to mention where the bindings are
for dwmac.

Does not matter. DTS is independent description of hardware. Do you want
to say that without driver support in Linux you could not add the DTS?
No, that's irrelevant.

You unnecessary grow the CC list - it is already way too big (please
trim it to maintainers only and CC lists) - and make applying more
complicated, e.g. suggesting there is some dependency.

DTS *must* go via arm-soc, not net-next, combining it here increases the
risk it will go via wrong tree.
