By the time you gave feedback, I have already sent the dtbo change for
DTC to the device-tree-compiler list (based on Rob's suggestion).

And it got merged today by David:

https://github.com/dgibson/dtc/commit/163f0469bf2ed8b2fe5aa15bc796b93c70243ddc

Can we please finalize what we need to do with naming here and be done
with it, so I can rework my patches and get going ?

Thanks.
