I'll need your real name to apply a patch.

Ok, so I assume this is only problem with certain device trees, and
not a problem with dts' in mainline?

This is not trivial patch, no need to cc trivial tree. OTOH Ccing
Marek who did a lot of cleanups in -next might be useful. Doing that
now.

Best regards,

Pavel
