If you prefer that, then apply it - i just wanted to offer both options!

One note though: as most systems will get "deploying" the rpi-foundation
pre-build kernels and their corresponding device tree it seems unlikely 
that a lot of alternate dts will get used...

So when they switch, then >99% of all users will be using the new code
plus the new device-tree that handles that.

That is why I see this as a good example of future bit-rot, where we
have to maintain 20+ lines versus about 5 lines with just a message...
