Can you clarify what this means for backwards compatibility? I see old kernels
used to parse these properties, does that mean that the updated DT is no
longer compatible with them?
If you break compatibility, this should only be done for exceptional reasons,
and explain the tradeoffs. What is the oldest kernel that is still compatible
with the updated DT files, and why can't we just keep the properties around?
