Rather than a dtb schema change, for the most common properties (irqs,
clocks, gpios), we could extract dependencies at boot time. I don't like
the idea of adding a separate depends-on property because it is very
easy to get it out of sync with the actual binding data (dtc is not the
only tool that manipulates .dtbs. Firmware will fiddle with it too).

Then that stuff has to fiddle correct. Sorry, but trying to solve all problems right from the beginning just leads to endless talks with no end and nothing will happen at all because nobody aggrees how to start.
