Unfortunately, I couldn't take the DT changes in Samsung tree at that time
because of missing header file and it causes build error. Now I can pick
them into Samsung tree but I'm not sure it can be sent to upstream during
this -rc...

Eduardo, Lukasz,
Do you guys think the DT changes are really fixes for 4.0?
