This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    misc/at25, dt: Improve at25 SPI eeprom device tree bindings.

It is perhaps obvious that I think the patch should be merged (as I
wrote it and sent it to you).  However, I think there is a bit of
process problem here.  Patches that affect device tree bindings are
part of the de facto kernel ABI, and as such, need proper vetting.
It is my opinion that neither the original patch, nor this one
correcting it, should have been committed without either Grant or
Rob giving an Acked-by.

Then next time, please do a RFC or something that indicates that I
shouldn't be applying a patch without such an Ack.

If you want, I will gladly revert this :)
