Unfortunately, checking powerpc/boot/dts/* isn't sufficient for
confirming we aren't going to break backwards compatibility with boards
*in the field*.

Please take a look at:

  d4fb5ebd83c70 powerpc/83xx: consolidate init_IRQ functions
  8159df72d43e2 83xx: add support for the kmeter1 board.

Perhaps one or two of the authors is still around and can say why that
check is there and if it's ok to remove it.

Or, we could just play it safe and keep the check.

Ok, thanks.  Please clarify that in the commit log on your next version.

thx,
