Please let's not do that! That breaks booting and git bisect.
It's better to have a minimal branch where each patch boots fine.

Also, I think you should at least print a warning for the old
binding. Otherwise people with out of tree boards will have
hard time updating their patches to send to mainline tree.

Sounds like some things need to be rearranged a bit first
