There are some cases in which it's absolutely mandatory to use the fixed tree (memory banks, they are oftem empty in the Linux provided dts files) and other in which is convenient (mtd, to make sure the kernel sees the same partitions as the bootloader). There might be some cases where we want to have more control over which fixups run and which don't, but generally we want to have the fixed tree here.
