Yes, this seems to work. Thanks to both of you for the hint!
On the topic of the gta04-kernel DT files, they seem to be less developed than
the ones in the following branch:
https://github.com/gcwnow/linux/tree/jz-3.19/arch/mips/boot/dts/
Currently, I'm investigating the state of this tree and seeing if it can build
usable kernels for the Ben NanoNote. If so, there may be some potential in
merging or adopting the jz4740 support from that tree for any jz4730 support,
although I suspect that I may need to expand the jz4740 definition first,
perhaps looking at the jz4770 definition to see how some things are done.
