If these patches were only for backward compatibility I would not complain much. But they are known to introduce forward incompati- bilities with all this MACH_ID stuff, and this is what I would like to avoid. I think we should make a clear statement that new boards that get added should only support DT based configurations. If really needed, legacy MACH_ID support may be kept out of tree.
