We had a similar thread sometime back (Performance states for power
domains), where we couldn't get to the bindings in the first go. Rob
suggested that we can actually get the code in first and then we can
look at how to get stuff from DT once we understand it more.

He wasn't happy with the bindings I proposed and so I took the same
approach here. Its not a lot of code we are going to have to remove
once we move to DT, so it ain't that bad.

I can't give any guarantee of that ;)

I will try to talk to few guys during Linaro connect next week and
also look into source for such stuff.

As far as my part go, I can do my best to advertise it with articles
and presentations. But eventually people have to get motivated to use
it themselves :)

What else can I do as an author here? I will do whatever it takes to
get people to use it.
