I will refresh the pull-request to leave it out, but meanwhile I'd like
to argue too, as the approach has been agreed by IMX people and all the
patches I queued on imx/dt are all in this way.  And I will move the
patch to imx/dt branch instead, if you're not strongly against the
approach.

The board level dts are mostly used to add/overwrite properties for
nodes defined in soc dts.  Therefore, what people who look at board
dts care about is those properties, not really which bus the nodes
are on.  We go this way to have board dts focus on the things they
are created for.  It's much easer to read and edit those properties.

I'm not sure why it's important to maintain the bus topology in board
dts while we have the full one in soc dts.  In the current way, people
sometimes have to reassemble 3 or more levels bus hierarchies for only
overwriting one property for one node.  

I'm pretty sure that people who work on board level dts would vote for
this way.  It makes their life easier without increasing the
maintainer's burden.  So why not?
