Whoops, I missed Rob on this patch--just had him on the bindings one.
...generally I believe Rob seems to be OK with wiping out backward
compatibility for things like this when the previous binding is super
new and there's no evidence that anyone ever used it (like if it was
added for a specific board and that board doesn't have a fully
functional DT anyway).
In this particular case I'm 99.9999% certain nobody is using the
existing binding. If someone crawls out of the woodwork and says this
patch broke them, it would be trivially easy to add the backward
compatible string later.
Obviously Rob can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
I purposely put this patch at the end of the series so we can land the
earlier ones and we can sit on this one for a little while if desired.
