I'm not real happy with the concept of patches 4 and 5 in this series.
My concern is that those two patches are using the FDT as a transport
mechanism for a binary blob (the atags object).

Patches 1 and 2 do follow the spirit of atags_to_fdt() since an
atags kernel already may set system_rev from an atag.
