That file is explicitly part of the binding; any driver that implements this binding needs to use the same values. As such, that file would typically be part of the patch that adds the binding doc, not part of the patch that implements the driver.
No need to respin the series just because of that though.

"firmware" is rather generic. I'd suggest a vendor prefix for the property name; raspberrypi,firmware.
