Removal of unused code should be OK for the early -rc. I doubt that
anybody would object it especially considering that's it's a huge
pile of unused defines that most likely won't ever be needed for
DT based booting.

I'd prefer to have it done now for the early -rc series. But if it
drags on, we should not merge it during the -rc series.
