Interesting. I only just was made aware of this thread. There is a
similar discussion going on kicked off by the BeagleBone folks where
they want to insert additional DT data from Linux userspace. Whether
the data is merged at U-Boot time or kernel time, I expect that the
required data format will be very similar.

I'm trying to draft up a document that captures the requirements and
lay out what needs to be done to the tools, U-Boot and the kernel.
