[MAINTAINERS SUMMIT] State of dt-bindings and DT source files, and invitation request

["Arınç ÜNAL" <arinc.unal@arinc9.com>]

Hello.

I maintain the MediaTek DSA subdriver and some devicetree bindings and
source files for MediaTek hardware.

I am especially interested in the best practices of maintaining dt-bindings
and DT source files.

There's this false impression with some maintainers that, as the
dt-bindings and the DT source files are being hosted on the Linux
repository, Linux drivers have influence over the design of bindings or
fixing DT source files that did not comply with the bindings.

I'd be very interested to be involved in or kick start the efforts to take
dt-bindings and DT source files out of the Linux repository into its own,
separate repository. I believe, this would be a great step in addressing
all the project-dependent bindings of Linux, U-Boot, OpenWrt, and all other
projects, to have a single, unified repository to describe all the hardware
that exists in the world. I am already working towards this goal by
improving the dt-bindings and DT source files on the Linux repository
whenever I can.

I must be quite late to make a topic suggestion but I'd be very happy to be
able to attend to the maintainers summit. I've already registered for the
Linux Plumbers Conference 2024.
