Just tell them that the kernel is moving to a different configuration

No. Drop FEX from the kernel, use DT. There is no reason why the kernel
shold care about the FEX format

Which still includes a number of possible configurations with different
i2c, spi, usb etc devices connected on the board. Because Allwinner is
