Oh, didn't notice the rename. It looks like the kernel simple bridge
does everything I want. When I work on this again, I'll look into
using that binding instead. Thanks!

having make dtbs and dtbs_check as barebox make targets is on my todo list.
For now, I don't see the utility in having yaml bindings when they aren't
easily tested.
