I'm inclined to agree with you both; however, the submitted implementation
was a choice of expediency given the existing DENX implementation and a
customer that needed the feature "yesterday".

ARM, MIPS, et al have not yet adopted device trees, correct? If so, is there
value in providing the submitted implementation and adding support for
getting said information from the device tree as another option if such
information exists?
