If you have to modify the DT to update 'nxp,slot', then you can modify 
the DT to just expose the parts of the h/w for the assigned slot. For 
example, only put slot 1's power-domains entry in the DT when slot 1 is 
assigned.

As far as formatting your emails, talk to your NXP colleagues. They've 
figured it out. If you've configured git-send-email successfully, then 
using mutt should be possible. You can use 'b4' to get the thread mbox, 
and read it in mutt.
