I assume you saw v2 which introduced some defines to give those guys a
bit of time, which IMHO is still better. Then we can remove these compat
defines in (say) a year and so trigger this reminder.

Also one of the advantages of dt that was advertised when ARM was
converted to dt was, that upstreaming the dt isn't necessary any more. I
personally like this and still consider not upstreaming the dtb part of
a machine a sane approach.
