The typical solution for nonstandard bootloaders is to have a boot wrapper
like the one from https://github.com/zonque/pxa-impedance-matcher that
translates whatever information we have at the bootloader level into
DT properties.
As I understand, the reason we are not doing that here is that we also
have proprietary user space that we can't fix to look in a different
place, i.e. the interface is between the bootloader and some user
binary, not bootloader to kernel.
