Not necessary. There is another option, we might add OF support to the
ARM platforms. :-) Or at least "fake" (statically initialize) some OF
nodes, as proposed by Sparc/PPC/OF folks:
http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2009-December/078835.html

Though, I'm not sure what state the ARM OF/static-OF support is
in, IIUC Grant started implementing some proof-of-concepts.

In anyway, I'll happily ack your work regardless ARM OF, since OF
acceptance could be a long story. I.e., all the above is FYI, just
an interesting idea.

Thanks,
