Only one DTS file has it.  It's been removed from every other DTS.  Are 
you should that instead of removing the last one, I should *add* one to 
the other DTS files?

No, it's a dead property.  Specifying linux,boot-cpu in the DTS is 
obsolete and deprecated.  If you specify it, the device tree compiler 
complains.  The proper way to specify the device tree is with the -b 
parameter to dtc.
