This is quite frustrating. I absolutely won't consent to a revert. I've
spent a great amount of time and effort explaining why this is neither
necessary nor a good approach in this email thread. I'm not going to accept
a revert due to the other side's failure to communicate, which will create
unnecessary work for me to do. It is ridiculous to demand a change in a
Linux driver before accepting a device tree patch.
