dt-bindings: submitting-patches: add guidance on patch content and subject

as part of them. The binding doc defines the ABI and the includes are
part of that. Add some details on the preferred subject prefix and
contents.

The 80 characters of the subject are precious. It is recommended to not
use "Documentation" or "doc" because that is implied. All bindings are
docs. Repeating "binding" again should also be avoided.
