Strange, because when we discussed the MBus DT binding, we were told
exactly the opposite: the in-memory DT should be updated to reflect the
MBus windows that are created dynamically (if I remember correctly).
So it seems like updating the DT from the kernel was not really
frowned upon (but it's true the of API does not really encourage that).
Best regards,
Thomas
