That's kind of normal to start a new LTS with bare minimum of dtb/o support.

But I have 2 concerns:

1. Maybe better to just push commit with removal, instead of reverting old 
commits - it may get quite confusing soon with reverts of reverts...

2. Do you think it's still premature to make 5.10 as a default in meta-ti 
dunfell branch? Since dunfell is kind of established stable (not a new LTS), 
anyone who updates meta-ti will go from fully working 5.4 to a very minimal 
and bare 5.10 - may be a bad user experience...
