Yes, agreed, even grumpy me starts thinking this looks good. =)

Regarding dependency handing of driver and board code, I believe
Laurent has us covered.

As for breaking non-DT boot, under mach-shmobile the code for DT
"-reference" board support is DT only so judging by the file name this
kind of change should be fine.
