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.
