Well, either one device tree is okay, or we need two. If we do need two, then it would be
bad to load the wrong one on a particular board and have only 90% functionality. If he
have the ability to prevent customers from getting confused, then we should do that. I
wish this was standard behavior for all device trees. I've frequently loaded the wrong
device tree and wondered why nothing worked.
