I disagree.  If you update your kernel you should update your device

Is this a new policy? I was under the impression that supporting older
device trees, if not too inconvenient, is desirable.  I've nack'd
patches before that broke backwards compatibility unnecessarily.

The specific issue I'm talking about is the addition of new nodes that might break old device trees. I have no desire to try and say that I can't add new nodes and code related to them just because old device tree's didn't have them.
