During patch review, you can keep the series together as you do at the
moment. When the review is complete, I would suggest:

- send the devicetree patches as one series to the stm32 maintainers to
  pick up and forward to soc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx along with all other devicetree
  patches they apply. We will then merge this with the devicetree patches
  from all other soc maintainers  and send it upstream.

- wait for guidance from the stm32 maintainers about handling the defconfig
  patch. This will get applied separately from the devicetree patches,
  but it could either get merged. This could either get merged along with
  other stm32 patches in a branch based on 7.1-rc1, or it could remain
  as a standalone patch rather than a pull request and apply cleanly
  on top of soc/defconfig.
  Either way, there is no need to wait for the devicetree patches
  to be merged, just send them at the same time.
