The driver _is_ already backward-compatible with incorrect device trees.
This patch makes it compatible with "correct" device trees.

We need care taken in one more area: when you make updates to the device
tree, *old* versions of the kernel are not compatible with the latest
device tree, which is not OK.

So ideally:
- patch 2/2 should be considered a bug fix and backported to stable kernels
- you wait for some time to pass between when patch 2/2 is merged, and
  when patch 1/2 is merged, so that users who get an updated device tree
  have gotten the kernel compatibility patch through stable channels

Then you need to consider that you break "git bisect" if you keep the
device tree the same (i.e. the latest) and just change kernels. That is
a trade-off that needs to be well justified (cost/benefit).
