The problem I'm facing in the ux500 tree is that different changes
to the device tree files are colliding like hell.

So I really need those changes (to those files) to come in
separately. Usually the changes are orthogonal anyway, and
the DT stuff "could" be maintained as if it was out-of-tree.

At the core of that is basically that the DT files have a higher
evolutionary pace than the kernel code and that is straining the
merge model.
