No, that's what I asked you to do first time round (or at least what we
discussed on IRC).  The problem with the first version was that you had
two unrelated places where the defaults were specified, the problem with
this version is that you copy everything into new variables which makes
the diff really big and noisy.  I'd *really* expect the device tree data
to just be a different way of supplying platform data.

As a first step I'd use this code to set the default if the platform
data doesn't set the flag.
