I know, I saw that. I don't really care what you do given the platform
is being deleted and it is unlikely that anyone is actually going to be
assembling a from-scratch dtsi for this SoC. On the other hand, if
you're doing a conversion, even in this scenario, I think it should be
clear. 
I didn't ack the patch cos I figured you were taking the patch via the
samsung tree (and on to Stephen) yourself, but here:
Acked-by: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

I'd rather argue about the definition of erratum instead of this :)
