as I said please extend commit message to describe reasons behind this and using 
that dt config as you use.

And we can discuss if this is a fix of this commit. It is more or less 
workaround for Linux kernel limitation and not actual fix. Because with correct 
DT binding existing code should work.
Obviously correct way to handle it would be to fix Linux kernel driver not to 
convince U-Boot to use Linux kernel dt binding.
