I know it would be easier to import new device tree files into FreeBSD, and
support the latest version of the spec if there was a clean way of doing so.
Right now, with the files comingled with other files in the Linux tree it is harder
to do so than if they were stand-alone. Especially if the compiler could also
come from a near-by place.

P.S. I've been championing the use of fdt in FreeBSD for a few years now. I
am presently converting over all our Atmel support to use fdt, as well as
championing cross-SoC and cross-architecture use of fdt + gpio, fdt + i2c, etc.
Just so you know who I am, in case the name in unfamiliar to you...--
