I'm sure you'll hate for doing this, but I've asked Kim to create  
a new
Documentation/powerpc/fsl-device-tree-bindings.txt as part of his  
SEC patch.

I'm going to move all the Freescale SoC related bindings into this  
new
file.  One of the aspects of the new file is we will NOT having an  
ordinal
heading index.

Not at all.  This is much needed.  The current file is far to unwieldy

How about splitting up like this:

Documentation/powerpc/device-tree/fsl/cpm.txt
Documentation/powerpc/device-tree/fsl/cpm/uart.txt
Documentation/powerpc/device-tree/fsl/tsec.txt
Documentation/powerpc/device-tree/interrupts.txt
Documentation/powerpc/device-tree/dtb.txt

May I suggest moving it to Documentation/of-bindings/ instead?  Some
of these bindings (granted, not the fsl ones) will be used by
non-powerpc platforms (sparc, microblaze).

I think the powerpc bindings should still be under Docs/powerpc/of- 
bindings/

It makes it cleaner in that each arch/sub-arch maintainer can maintain  
Docs/<arch>/of-bindings and we can all vet changes to Docs/of-bindings
