After some consideration, I think we can drop the dts backward
compatibility code from drm/tilcdc. It seems that it is causing a lot of
trouble and I do not even know if anybody uses it anymore. Here is a
patch for dropping it:

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2017-November/157394.html

I did not plan to merge it before v4.16, but if this is a bigger problem
I can push is right now for v4.15.

Best regards,
