Well, I do not have a dependancy per-say. The dts was al ready there. 
The problem is some people have reported problems with the power 
sequencing sometimes not working properly for them.

You are right, it was just a sync from the upstream dt.

Which is why I asked, how do we normally handle it, just copy/paste and 
make a patch was the answer there.

I think we need a better system as to keeping the device tree's in sync, 
if we want both to use the same device-tree, right?

I'll re-submit the patch as a 'cherry-pick' from linux to make it clear-er.
