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.
