I agree, why are we removing backwards compatibility? The dts-v1
format isn't that old, so I'm sure there are plenty of device trees
out there, especially on our BSPs, that haven't been updated yet.
How about just printing a warning and saying that the device tree
should be updated with the conversion tool?
