Assuming we don't move them to a common location just to segregate them again, it makes MIPS consistent with every other architecture (not just ARM!) using DT. It also makes it easier to introduce common changes later on, like the 'dtbs' or 'dtbs_install' make targets. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
