HI Jassi, Michal

Based on the discussion we had on the dt bindings, I am personally ok with
the notion of having those defined internally until we can prove it makes
sense for the to be sent to the dt-schema.

In the future we need to strip those from U-Boot, before we hand over the
DR to the OS, but this is a problem that already exists regardless of this patchset.

Jassi, Michal had some review comments.  Are you going to send a v5 with
those fixed?

Thanks
