Ah, thanks for the heads up, wasn't aware of that.
I changed this patch, it looks quite neat now since this non-standard
binding is now in a separate file and the original .dts files match
exactly the Linux versions. Also it is expected that we will need to
change these nodes anyway to match the upcoming Linux Ethernet bindings.

One thing I noticed is that the binman/ node got lost with this
approach, is that because the -u-boot.dtsi scheme can only deal with one
addon file and stops looking on the first hit (skipping sunxi-u-boot.dtsi)?

Cheers,
Andre.
