:)

What did we ship with the old one again? I think I investigated this
before, so it's probabyl somewhere in the mail archive at least...

We could probably phase it out though, on P9 we could not add the old
style, as all kernels running there will have support for new style, and
then it'll completely go in $time

I was booting with same FSP firmware, so should have otherwise been
identical.... I've attached (compressed) device trees of before/after.

It seems that I do get extra faulted sensors:
			amb-temp#24576-faulted {
			amb-temp#24578-faulted {
			amb-temp#24577-faulted {

which correspond to the amb-temp-data and thrs.

and for power:

$ xzcat p86-after.dts.xz |egrep 'power\#'
			power#4096-data {
			power#4097-data {
			power#4097-faulted {
			power#4096-faulted {
$ xzcat p86-before.dts.xz |egrep 'power\#'
			power#1-data {


So... I think that looks about right? IF you agree, I'll merge these in today.
