I'm inclined to agree. What I said was "since they have showstopper bugs
to fix, we might as well let them fix the less important device-tree
stuff at the same time."

Please can we have a firmware with the important stuff fixed, and
preferably the simple and uncontentious device-tree fixes too; like
perhaps no longer pretending to be CHRP?

The other device-tree stuff you're arguing about is less important,
because it isn't _that_ hard to fix it up in prom_init() -- although it
would have been nice if the debate had happened when people were trying
to put the spec together in the first place, rather than only now.
