If the dependencies in CLCD and MTD make it in we'll just
merge the whole thing IMO.

If these drag out, we merge the device trees and wait with
removing the board files until v4.7.

I will still have some remaining cleanup for Integrator, Versatile
and also Versatile Express however, but that is for later.
