Sorry for my ignorance, but i have a doubt.
If the bindings and device node both are being changed in the same kernel
version (as fixes),
so that the stable will have both; then the only scenerio of backward
compatibility comes when kernel is upgraded but not dtbs.
Does such upgradation makes sense for distros ?
