I don't feel comfortable taking such a sizable set of DT changes into
the networking tree rather than the devicetree or ARM tree(s).

I know we're fast and more responsive than the other subsystems (by
several orders of magnitude) but that isn't a reason to bypass the
correct tree for these changes.

Thank you.
