Leave this be.  Given it exists there almost certainly device trees out there
using it. Lets not break them just to save on one line of code.

Supporting legacy bindings isn't exactly costly!

I'm happy with all the patches I haven't commented on. Just can't apply
them because they have dependencies on early patches that I have
raised questions on.

Another generally nice bit of cleanup.

Thanks,
