Hello Peter! The main issue is that U-Boot has different comphy driver
as Linux kernel and these two different implementations also needs
different DTS files. Marek is working on patches to replace U-Boot
comphy driver from Linux and then U-Boot will also use comphy DTS
definitions from Linux.

I think it does not make sense to spend time on thinking and
implementing how to semi-synchronize DTS files from kernel as after
comphy U-Boot driver changes, DTS files would be again changed.
