Well, I'm not really happy about this solution... But when we discussed
it last time (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.omap/66601 )
you and Benoit didn't come to agreement...
I really like your solution with dts built from brick corresponding to
IPs but I don't have much time to invest into patches that will likely
be rejected...

Regards, Ilya.
