    Sorry, I was just out of words when I saw this. I for one do not 
understand how this change will help the DT support and to me it seems 
no more than a pointless churn and step backward from what we had. Under 
no circumstances I will accept this change -- I'm totally opposed to the 
idea of moving the SoC devices to the board code.
