Hi Rob,

Do you think this patch is feasible? You asked me to send it before,
though I now see it leads to a lot of errors being revealed when doing
"make dtbs" and "make dtbs_check". Please let me know if it's Ack or
Nack -- I'm fine with any resolution, just want to know if I should
continue to carry it in my local branch or drop it.

Thanks!
