I'm not trying to "fix" riscv. I'm merely outlining that you are
relying on both broken DTs and a buggy OS.

It forces you to set #address-cells *if you rely on a different
value in a child node*. It's not like the semantics are new.

Congratulations, you've forked DT. News at 11.

I think we should fix the kernel and quirk riscv as broken, just like
PPC or sparc.
