OK.

See comment below.

See my response to PrasannaKumar. All the Ingenic-based boards do 
compile
the devicetree within the kernel, so I think it's still fine to add 
breaking
changes. I'll wait on @Rob to give his point of view on this, though.

(It's not something hard to change, but I'd like to know what's the 
policy
in that case. I have other DT-breaking patches to submit)
