Patches 4 and 5 both look ok, but since I merged the earlier versions
of these into the stable next/board branch of arm-soc.git, you will have
to generate these as incremental patches now, and adapt the changeset
comments accordingly.
One small issue:

You allow ARCH_KIRKWOOD_DT to be enabled without also enabling
dreamplug. That is ok, but

you call a function from dreamplug.o in board-dt.o and

you have an unconditional forward declaration in the header.
The idiomatic way to deal with this is to replace turn the
declaration into
#ifdef CONFIG_DREAMPLUG_DT
void dreamplug_init(void);
#else
static inline void dreamplug_init(void) {}
#endif
