The device tree stuff looks good, but the significant fixups you still
need to for the old hw do look like an indication that we should really
have a different way of producing almost-identical dts files.
The cleanest solution for now would be to have two dts files for warp,
but I can understand that you don't want to do that.

Did we ever come to a conclusion on how this could be done, e.g. with
preprocessed dts files or simpler dynamic patching of binary device
trees?
