The only reason I added a PRELIMINARY tag was because these DTS changes
should go in after the driver changes and dt-bindings.

DTS cannot go after the driver changes. If that is your requirement,
then original work is broken and needs to be fixed.

I should have worded it better. I am only worried about the dt-bindings
going in before this DTS. The driver changes just add support for
whatever we are desribing in this series, they can go in after
dt-bindings and DTS without any issues.

...would it be preferable to instead have the split like this?

  - This series + dt-bindings (on top of linux-next)
  - Only driver changes from [1] (for net-next)

No, because it would be against explicit documented rules in the kernel
and against clear guidelines and recent discussions within Qualcomm. I
wonder why did we have these long discussions about Shikra if only a few
people were listening and the rest will be repeating the same broken
process as before?

Understood, thanks. I'll keep the current split (bindings + driver to
net-next, DTS separate for the SoC tree).
