I did mean consistent with the majority of DTS files, rather than just
ours.  There are examples of non-padded values and it's perfectly
legal, but the vast majority of examples do in fact pad their
addresses [see below].  The change is more of a nit than a blocker.

git grep '@0[0-9|a-f]\{7\}' -- arch/arm/boot/dts/
892

git grep '@[0-9|a-f]\{7\} ' -- arch/arm/boot/dts/ | grep -vi sti | \
  grep -vi partition | grep -vi data
140

I'll probably still fix them up and resubmit some patches to bring us
into line with the vast majority.
