Yes, but not the 'device_type' property, which the kernel seems to expect.
The qemu patch below fixes the problem for sabrelite, I just don't know
if that is really the way to go. You tell me; I'll be happy to submit
the necessary patch(es) into qemu.

The same is true for 'chosen'. Right now qemu expects this node to exist.
It does exist for sabrelite, but apparently not for imx25-pdk.
