How long has this been true? You are breaking users if they are on a
version of OS where the pwm-ir-tx driver doesn't work (or didn't exist
or wasn't enabled). I suspect this is a platform that will care about
the ABI.
What you should do is make the "nokia,n900-ir" compatible work with
the generic driver. Then old driver works still, the generic driver
works on new OS versions, and the DTB doesn't change.
