It's great that it worked, but if we take the patch as-is, then we
will run into issues again in the future
when a new re-sync is done.

I see two alternatives:

1. Make the arch/arm/dts/imx6qdl-sr-som.dtsi changes into
arch/arm/dts/imx6qdl-sr-som-u-boot.dtsi, so that the main dtsi can
still be used from Linux.

2. Make the same dtsi work for both Linux and U-Boot.

What do you think?
