Shawn's patch can be updated to parse whatever you wish. But anyway what
stops in such case adding list address to the DTS, the same as person's
address?

Anyway this is independent topic. This board is not special so it does
not deserve special treatment. None of other boards receive entries.
Otherwise please Cc Arnd, Olof and soc, so we can make a policy and
start adding hundreds of per-board entries (I will be happy to add
several of them).

Best regards,
Krzysztof
