I'm not sure I understand what you want to say. My goal is to use the upstream
kernel with the device tree blob provided by the FW. If you talk about the
downstream kernel, I suppose you mean we should change this in the FW DT blob
and in the downstream kernel. That would work for me.
Did I understand you correctly?
