I'm sorry but DT is standardization, and while I know how stinky it is to
be first somewhere and having to pave the road for everyone else,
in the long run it's worth it. I think when we switched the entire kernel
to DT it was to get "more order", and this is the cost that comes with
that order: more review.

I will go in and answer the comment on the DT mailing list so there is
some push atleast.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
