Actually, I'm kind of torn on whether this is useful or not. With
being able to have EFI-provided FDT, it's hard to guarantee whether
the FDT we're provided has been compiled with GPL dtc(1) and -@. The
above solves this problem for most of my personal use-cases , though,
since I can guarantee that our FDT and U-Boot provided FDT is compiled
properly.
