Yes, I know, thanks for that. I tried to explain the dependency in the
00/00 cover letter but I will try to be more clear next time!

Sure, but the code in this patch looks like it simply starts DT CCF
probing regardless of what the bindings look like. So I don't think
you will have to worry about actual bindings detail.

Well, I meant patch 3 only. Patch 1 and 2 are tied together by dependencies. =)
