Indeed. But as I said in the cover letter:

"Actual DTS files are to be updated later, after this series has been
 integrated into mainline."

DTS updates typically go through a different path (e.g. arm-soc).
RTS/CTS support will be broken if the DTSes are updated before the drivers.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
