So this is compatible with version 16?  Does that mean that a V17 DTB 
will work fine with U-Boot today?  Or will we need to update U-Boot?

The reason I ask is that I created a patch for U-Boot that tests the 
version of the DTB before attempting to process it.  By marking V17 to 
be compatible with V16, the patch will make U-Boot assume that it can 
parse the DTB.
