Alright, I'll go along with what you're suggesting, but I have to
say, I find it misleading.

>From what I understand, you're requesting an update to the dtb
because it's using deprecated methods. However, the reality might 
be that the node is not present in any method at all.

Your statement would be accurate if you failed to find the
previous method but then did end up finding it.

Relying on the present continuous tense for clarity is a bold
move, don't you think? :)
