I'd prefer to not break compatibility of old kernels with new dts files
here, as this would prevent installing an old distro with an ebbr
compliant boot loader, for purely cosmetic reasons. These are used
in the popular 'hikey' boards, which are used in many scenarios,
which makes it fairly likely that someone might want to install
something other than the very latest kernel.
Could you instead keep both the old and the new property in there
for at least a few years?
