Because of broken bootloaders which don't do overlays, we've been adding 
additional dts instead.

For preference everybody would run u-boot, grub or another reasonable 
bootloader that can apply an overlay.

Last time I checked there was no support for dtbo upstream in the kernel 
itself.

greps

grep -r of_overlay_fdt_apply *

Hmm, does this do what I think it does ? Its news to me if there's a way 
to do this in the kernel now TBH.

Otherwise the sad situation with shipping bootloaders means we are 
pretty much stuck with the one blob which we can't apply an update to.
