We do have a bit more latitude here.  There isn't a single shipping
mvebu device with a fdt enabled bootloader.  So, as long as we aren't
impacting other SoCs/drivers, I'm comfortable with taking a release or
two to shake it out.  I understand we prefer not to do that, but in this
case, I don't want to hold up everything else in the pipeline.

thx,

Jason.
