Great work! I'm glad to see this heading upstream :)

I've used Simon's tree before and it will boot up all the way with UART
support (no graphics, usb, network).  I also think it has a fully
populated device
tree.  Why, in particular, did you strip it down?

I'm new to the ARM SoC upstreaming scene so there might be a obvious
reason of which I'm not aware.
