These are not tested on the actual boards, and Maxime will not take
untested dts patches.

They lack mmc controller info for one, so no rootfs support on many
boards, iow not really useful. I'm afraid that we will just have
to live with these ones, and not accept any new boards unless they
come with a proper dts (which has been submitted upstream).

Hopefully over time these will get a proper dts too.
