I haven't had a chance to review the patch in detail, but I can tell
you that breaking compatibility with older device trees is
unacceptable. You need to add some code, even if it's an ugly hack,
to support those trees.
I generally agree with this statement except that without this patch,
almost ALL of Freescale's SoC that uses "fsl,gianfar-tbi" are broken,
including the older ones. At least this patch fixes some of the device
trees. Because I'm not working at Freescale, I have a very limited
access to a few SoC which I could test this patch on. I think it is
Freescale's responsibility to release a complementary patch to fix the
rest of the SoC device trees.
