This is just another example how to add sw description to dts.
I have briefly looked at tegra20.dtsi and there are IPs like timer, intc, etc
which are in the DTS without any bus.

Add this firmware node to the root is just +1 case to this mess
but IMHO will be good to have specific DT part which will be used for
this sw setting which are coming to DTS all the time.

Grant, Rob: Where is the proper location for these type of description?

Thanks,
Michal
