Sounds completely reasonable.

To help make the devicetree conversion into 3.5, I would prefer to
integrate the "vendor,timeout" as-is if a longish standardization
process would block this, considering that we luckily only have 2-3 of
such timeout definitions currently.

I'd volunteer to clean up later by preparing a patch when there is a
standard timeout defined.

If we have a solution soon, I will prepare a new version of the patch,
of course, in the next days.

Right. But even when removing the "0x" in the timeout line above, it's
still hex, see Documentation/devicetree/booting-without-of.txt

Or did I get sth. wrong?

Thanks,
