So, there's patches to fix / keep cpsw working in U-Boot.  So while I
believe that Linux broke the rule of "DT is ABI" I've also gone
(virtually) hoarse pointing this out to the people that were supposed to
care.  So it's on my short list to grab the changes that are needed for
the TI platforms and we can grab all of the other changes as well.
