dt-bindings: submitting-patches: add guidance on patch content and subject
Clarify that binding patches should also include include/dt-bindings/* as part of them. The binding doc defines the ABI and the includes are part of that. Add some details on the preferred subject prefix and contents. Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <[email protected]>

be a separate patch. The preferred subject prefix for binding patches is:

"dt-bindings: <binding dir>: ..."

The 80 characters of the subject are precious. It is recommended to not

use "Documentation" or "doc" because that is implied. All bindings are

docs. Repeating "binding" again should also be avoided.
