If future dtb version > 17 are defined, that are still backwards
compatible with v16, libfdt will of course be able to read and
understand them. However, when modifying such a tree, it can't
guarantee that it won't clobber additional structure from the new
version which it doesn't know about. Therefore, before making
modifications to a tree of version >17, we must change it's version to
be exactly 17.

So, like, the other day David Gibson mumbled:
