Sorry if I misinterpreted what you were saying.

Okay, sounds like we have the same goal, and from what you said earlier
the proposed fixup on top of your patch should fix this for everyone.
Let's hope there aren't any more nasty corner cases.

FWIW, the Jetson TX1 DT isn't technically broken because it used to work
fine. It's just that it relied on the quirks for correctness. So we are
in the lucky situation that the DT is not in a ROM and we can easily
update it, but I agree, others may be in a different situation, so let's
fix this so that things are back to normal for everyone. That doesn't
mean that we shouldn't fix DTs when we can, so I'll still send out that
DT patch for Jetson TX1.

Okay, I'll take a look.
