The exact steps provided for submitting binding patches can be read
as requiring the bindings to be sent only to the devicetree@vger.kernel.org
list. Since the DT maintainers would like to be Cced on any binding
submissions, make this requirement explicit in step 2.

DT maintainers require all compatible strings used in chip or board
DTS file to be previously documented somewhere in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings, per:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-tegra&m=142201349727836&w=2
Document this requirement in the DT patch submission requirements
text file.
This second version updates the documentation to align with
Rob's comments here:

When posting a patch series that includes both code implementing a
Device Tree binding and its associated documentation, the DT docs
should come in the series before the implementation.
This not only avoids checkpatch.pl to complain about undocumented
bindings but also makes the review process easier.
Document this convention since it may not be obvious.
