+Todo list for devicetree:
+
+=== General structure ===
+- Switch from custom lists to (h)list_head for nodes and properties structure
+- Remove of_allnodes list and iterate using list of child nodes alone
+
+=== CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC ===
+- Switch to RCU for tree updates and get rid of global spinlock
+- Document node lifecycle for CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC
+- Always set ->full_name at of_attach_node() time
+- pseries fixups
+  - Get rid of open-coded tree modification from arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c
+  - Move of_finish_dynamic_node() behaviour into of_attach_node()
+- Fix notifier order. Notifiers should be sent after tree changes have
+  been applied instead of before (need to verify it works with for
+  pseries)
