I think I can make the old device trees compatible since the "compatible" string changed without too much effort or ifdefery in the code. However I would like to eventually see all PPC users move to the new mode as I do believe it is more in alignment with the spirit of the reserved-memory framework that is in the kernel. Do I need to mention the old mode in the binding.txt file? I'm trying to keep things clean so someone reading the binding doesn't get a headache and trying to preserve my own sanity as we move forward with adding new features to this driver.
