Because the driver goes in through me and LinusW, while the DTS goes in
through Simon and arm-soc.

If Simon applies the DTS patches, it will regress genmai in renesas-devel
until the release of v4.13-rc1.

An immutable branch would solve that, but for adding PFC we usuable just
postpone the DT part by one cycle.
