Which predated FDT support in Linux by more than a decade, with the
latter predating even p1275?
While I see merit in compatibility with other existing OSes, I prefer not
to deviate from standard DT bindings, if they exist.
Over time, we've even migrated from Renesas-specific DT bindings to
standard DT bindings, in already upstreamed SoC support.
If needed, I guess a script can be written to convert DTS files from the
old to the new syntax?
Thanks!

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
