It does no harm, and it's contained in one place. On the dts side, you're adding the new phys property without removing the old-style nodes at first. If you put the driver change first, the dts could be switched to the new style in one patch without a confusing hybrid ever existing. > Compatibility with so called old DTBs is not so important, because there > are no boards with Exynos4 and Exynos5 SoCs, which would not update DTB > together with the kernel zImage.

Besides, isn't the general policy to not break compatibility without a very good reason? -- Måns Rullgård
