We already have DT bindings for out of tree drivers, there's really
nothing new here.
We have DT bindings for *hardware*, not for drivers. As stated in
Documentation/devicetree/usage-model.txt:

"The "Open Firmware Device Tree", or simply Device Tree (DT), is a data
structure and language for describing hardware.  More specifically, it
is a description of hardware that is readable by an operating system
so that the operating system doesn't need to hard code details of the
machine."

"2.1 High Level View
-------------------
The most important thing to understand is that the DT is simply a data
structure that describes the hardware."
