I may be mistaken, but my understanding is that DT bindings are like kernel's userspace APIs. After they have been merged, they have to work in the future kernels also.
and that probably *eventually* makes sense when dts files are kicked out of the kernel. For now, it doesn't really seem useful, unlike maintaining compatibility for userspace ABI's.
Why does that matter? Afaik, the dts files are in the kernel for convenience, and as examples. You can as well have the DT data in your bootloader.
Or has there been a clear decision that while the dts files are in the kernel, they are considered unstable?
