As already explained in previous versions of this patch thread, there is
a non-DT version in a downstream kernel and the more I make this patch
incompatible with non-DT, the harder it gets to upstream the remaining
stuff. I hope this is not something that blocks this driver from getting
accepted.

Sigh, the API is developing faster than I can keep track with updating
this patch. I hope some day I will be faster....
When Russell told me about the second one before, it hoped that I can
avoid merging different trees on my own, but it seems that you want me
to do that ;-)

Why not? (In the case of non-DT initialization)
