These 4 patches needs more wider discussion if this is helpful or
not. Currently I can't see any value in it because everything
is just generated and fixed. I think I had the same discussion
with Laurent some weeks ago regarding this.
IRC the origin idea to use this was especially for people who
writing these DTS by hand which is not our case - at least
for majority of our customers.

Thanks,
Michal
