Here's a novel idea:
What if the device tree police spent a little more time on fixing up
existing DTS files and booting-without-of.txt, and a little less time
making it as hard as possible for people to get new board ports in?
That way, at least they would be demanding of new submissions what is
documented and already accepted.
Current booting-without-of.txt still claims that /soc should have
device_type "soc".
