Do you have any thoughts on this? I guess that the Tobi DT is not very
widely used, apart for testing purposes, but I do not want to be flamed
due to an API breakage :D But I deem the new name to be worth the risk.

Damn!

Ok, will go for 3.15. Anyway, I have other DT patches under the hood
(OMAP4 DuoVero + my own board), so everything can go into the same release.
