Not implementing DT bindings is not a bug. Otherwise provide any sort of
proof that this was not intentional.

I can easily provide you proof why this was intentional: negative review
maintainers.

So again, downstream and forks... NAK, you cannot push things to stable
just because you want them backported by Greg.

This is not acceptable.

I do not see dependency on the board. Host has the same CPU always, so
it processes with the same speed.
