Weren't you dismissing the idea because of "past the MW"?

So coming back to that discussion, I was wondering how DT *updates* are
actually a new feature (from a U-Boot perspective)?
Actually I see a lot of warnings from dtc about various things in our
older .dts's, which spoils buildman runs. From this point of view updating
the DTs is a mere fix (as they remove these warnings).
So would you be willing to push for DT updates for this U-Boot release
still, if I can show that U-Boot is not affected by the DT updates? Stuff
like adding audio DT nodes have actually zero risk of affecting U-Boot ;-)

Cheers,
Andre.
