That sounds reasonable.  The only eyebrow raising thing is having an
include/mach inside a plat-* directory... that seems an odd way to do
things as mach/ includes normally come from the mach-* directory.

So I wonder whether Nicolas' idea of "dt-only stuff in arch/arm/plat-*"
is the right idea.  It just makes plat-* the same as a mach-* but with
a different name, whereas it is _supposed_ to be for stuff shared
between a bunch of mach-* directories.
