This patch solves an issue preventing DRM driver probing, but it breaks 
the DT ABI.
For now, this driver and its DT node are only used by a few identified 
people.

Since these people only use aligned version of Kernel and DT, do you 
accept we break the ABI for this time?

Thanks in advance,
Maxime
