This is why I converted all dts which use "ti,system-power-controller"
and tps65910/tps65911 to the new property (everything is in the
patches serie). However, with an existing dtb it will no longer work,
yes.
What do you suggest ? keep these two properties in the driver ? :/

I mean, this is a standardization, so all the corresponding dts must
be updated and rebuilt... Like when you change something in a
dt-binding, you should update and rebuilt the dts... I Don't compute.
