How do you get your dts?
it seems that you generated it from your dtb (or from /proc).

I tried to do the same from arch/arm/boot/dts/kirkwood-ts219-6282.dtb,
but the resulting dts is too different for an easy comparison.

Could you also provide your dtb, maybe by using the same dtc with the
option -s I will manage to get the something easier to compare.
