The patches basically look good to me (except patch 15, see
comment there), but they are not ordered in a way that allows
bisection. I can see two ways to do this better:

a) first do all the code changes, one by one, then add the
fully populated device tree in the last patch.

b) as commented on patch 5, atomically change over each
device in both the DT source and the board code.
Also do the driver changes (i2c, tc3589x) before changing
them in the device tree.
