Have a look at this commit: commit 7f217794ffa72f208a250b79ab0b7ea3de19677f Author: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sun May 13 00:14:24 2012 -0400 mmc: dt: Consolidate DT bindings This is deleting custom properties from DTS files without adding any code to fallback-support them on old device trees. (Actually I like this commit a lot, since it is removing custom MMC props and replacing these with standard bindings common for all MMC/SD controllers, but ...) I think there are more examples if you git log on arch/arm/boot/dts...
