Yes, it is true that it will break other users and is mentioned it in
the cover letter of this patchset.

Your point on maintaining support for both old and new formats is
helpful. But I am not sure if maintaining support for both formats is
the right thing to do. As most of the ARM platforms will switch to
using dt, maybe converting all of them to new format would be better.
I will try doing this and prepare a patch.

Thanks,
Thomas.
