Well patches like this are sent out but not commented on from
the perspective of binding stability. So of course, they get merged.

Have a look at this commit:

commit 7f217794ffa72f208a250b79ab0b7ea3de19677f
Author: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
Date:   Sun May 13 00:14:24 2012 -0400

    mmc: dt: Consolidate DT bindings

This is deleting custom properties from DTS files without
adding any code to fallback-support them on old device trees.

(Actually I like this commit a lot, since it is removing custom MMC
props and replacing these with standard bindings common for all
MMC/SD controllers, but ...)

I think there are more examples if you git log on arch/arm/boot/dts...

Yours,
Linus Walleij
