What's wrong with doing it in setup_arch()?

Modifying a flat device tree is a more complicated task, and the kernel's
code is read-only.  It's not worth bringing libfdt or similar complexity
in for this, when there are other alternatives.

If it really needs to be done early, consider doing it from U-Boot.  The
bootwrapper would be a decent place as well, but we probably shouldn't
require its use just for this.
