Well, I don't know. Most DTBs are distributed along the kernel on the
same boot medium. Both ways are far from the ideal. Reverting for now is
ok, but long-term I'd rather fix the buggy DTSs and remove extra stuff.

Old DTBs aren't compatible with new kernels anyway and I guess it will
be the case in the future again (e.g. IIRC pre-4.2 IMX6 DTBs don't boot
on 4.2+ - or was it 4.1?).
