Do realize you can use the device tree in a much simpler form to pass  
the same basic information we got from the bd_t and ignore everything  
else.

The reason for all the churn (or complexity) is the lack of any  
'spec' on how to describe any of the SOC parts in the device-tree and  
thus we have to invent something.

At least that's how I see it.
