Over that, this patch should have been present before any other
patches using these bindings.
I've never heard that one before, but it's easy to re-order the set.
I don't know, but it seems obvious to me: Bindings first and then the
code.
Do you always write your documentation before implementing a
feature?

Surely it goes;
  Requirements Gathering
  Plan and Prepare
  Implement
  Test
  Document
  Deliver

;)

... but as I say, I can re-order if required.  It's really not a problem.
This is actually documented in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt:
...

  3) The Documentation/ portion of the patch should come in the series before
     the code implementing the binding.

....

The rationale AFAIU is that it is easier to review the implementation
of a binding after reading the DT binding doc since then you can see
if the code matches what the DT binding describes.

Best regards,
Javier
