So, like, the other day Segher Boessenkool mumbled:

That is a good point.

I think there are several factors at work here.  First and
foremost, I am not an expert in this area; it is new to me.
I am not afraid to say that I really need the guidance of
an expert here.  Second, perhaps there is lingering legacy
crap in some of the early DTS files that should be systematically
cleaned up.  Many of them were written during a time when we
were really first learning about the whole Device Tree.  While
they may have been there on some, say, Apple boards, it's all
new for the FSL embedded parts.  Cloned mistakes then likely
contributed to the problems and should be fixed.  Finally,
perhaps our documentation on how some of the important fields
should work or be derived is lacking and could be improved.
Suggestions or patches down this line would likely be welcomed.

I, at least, am open to suggestions that might improve it.

Thanks,
jdl
