I have higher standards :-)
But I still don't get why people would use new DT without updating kernel. It's pretty fair to use old DT with newer kernel because they want bug-fix patches.
The device tree is shipped with the kernel, so some people say that backwards compatibility is not needed anywhere. I think it's important to provide backwards compatibility both ways.
I generally prefer some kind of transition period, where you can use new or old kernel with a new or old device tree.
I see..
However, let me look at Fabio's patches some more.
Yes, please.
