My point was to create a new patch that would also introduce the 
differences (Ethernet, leds...). The commit message would explain the 
differences versus stih416-b2020.

 From your patch, if I didn't know the differences, I would ask why you 
don't use stih416-b2020.dts.

If you have another pending patch that make Ethernet to work on revE 
board, you can keep this one as it is.
