Or maybe you could tell us now what you're planning to
change/add ...

If not, that will be exactly the same thing, if for whatever
reason we need more infos in the device tree and that's not
currently specified, we'll define some binding for what's
missing that will end up being incompatible with what you did
during 2 month in secret and in the mean time the whole driver/support
code will have been written based on what has been discussed in
public ...

Could you be a little more precise about what you're planning
on 'fixing' from the list I posted ? (like point 1, 2 but not 3.
Or 1a, 1b 2a & 2b ...) ...
