You're aware that u-boot parsed this before linux did, right?

I can write my own flattened device tree parser if necessary. It's a
tree in an array. And having a general posix API invites code that is
not used on your target: making a powerful general purpose mechanism
doesn't mean I need load code I'm not using.

Common data format: good thing. Device tree format is ugly and
incoherent but so's the problem space it's dealing with and it means I
don't have to do it.

Either it's "mere aggregation", or a license violation.  Pick one.
