Yes, that is right.
Frankly, I am really surprised and shocked at the cavalier attitude expressed here WRT DT bindings in released kernels. Think about the *users* of this code. Not everyone working with ARM Linux is a kernel developer or a DT guru. There is really no indication at all that the ARM Linux DT stuff released so far are not stable and trustworthy.
It is not nice to provide such a mess, and the idea that we *must* have a mess because the whole system in still in development is bogus, IMHO. Just make sure that the mainline kernel is really working and that the DT bindings *there* are for keeps.
It is your job as kernel developers.
Thanks, Richard
