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.

However, let me look at Fabio's patches some more.
