My Overdrive comes with DT provided by firmware, so there's no need to
have a in-kernel-tree DT source.

Are you aware of other reasons to have it here? I just foresee
divergence and conflicts between the two. It was quite obvious before
this update when the FW-provided DT was a lot more complete than what
we had in the kernel tree.
