Sent patch to fix them.

Couldn't one also use the of fixup system to modify the barebox DT?  In
order to support multiple board variants, I added DT nodes that specify
what nodes should be enabled and/or disabled for different board
versions.  An OF fixup applies this to the Linux DT.  I haven't had to
modify the barebox DT for different boards but anticipate that happening
for the next board and I was planning to use the same system.
