I see what the patch does and that it could be very useful, but there's
a problem: The devicetree is for hardware *description*, not
*configuration*.

This example shows this. For some reason we adjust the esdhc frequency
to 200MHz in the code currently, but this is because it matches our
current usecase. Once you move this into devicetree, we can't change
this anymore in the kernel, even if we find a much better way to adjust
the frequency in the future (i.e. smaller values might be good for power
savings, higher values might increase performance, we even might
dynamically change this frequency).


So no, this shouldn't be in the devicetree, even though it's very
tempting to do so.

I wonder when someone comes up with a 'configtree' where we could put in
such stuff.
