I don't mind too much which patch goes in -- do we care about whether
other .dtb files can be included in the kernel?
I would suggest that it is just plain wrong for _binary_ devicetree
blobs to appear in the kernel tree, since there is a readily usable
source form for the same thing (this isn't firmware)
Do we think that the '.dtb' filename extension might get used foro
something else?
