So when it comes to the PXA there is maybe this list of things that
would be nice to change, and this is likely on top of it ... moving the
PXA machines over to device tree would be more important if people
who like them want them so stay around, because non-device tree
platforms will at some point become deprecated, and fixing the platforms
to support device tree will inevitably lead to this problem being fixed
as well.
