Marek, I value your feedback a lot and I appreciate your help here. Just
to be clear that I am not ignoring it, little disclaimer:

Unless there is a clear NAK from you or someone else, with an idea to
fix or with a commitment to change driver/bindings, I am planning to
grab these changes.

I really want to get the dtbs_check done. With these and my other fixes,
the arm64 exynos DTS pass fully all dtschema and in-kernel dtbs_check.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
