Usually there are small conflicts because two people added / changed a
node nearby. This patch turned the .dts file almost upside down.

I am aware of this now. However these changes belonged together because
a) they belonged together and b) would break the driver until the .dts
changes and driver code is in-sync.
In future I am going to ask you for a topic branch so I can get my
changes in one piece without breaking stuff in the middle.

What do we do now?
