As a fall back?  I'm still unclear as to why the right answer isn't
something along the lines of "work with upstream to get appropriate
bindings accepted".  I think I might have even misread the comment about
SystemReady IR before even.  The assigned-lock-x property isn't in the
upstream binding?  So now we're trying to do what exactly here?

And to be clear, the situation with the layerscape dts files that's just
now getting sorted out has me extra skeptical of "just modify the dts in
U-Boot to ..." changes.  The goal within U-Boot is that our bindings are
accepted upstream (as upstream accepts non-Linux bindings) and I prefer
to start asking "is this a binding that's applicable to other firmwares
too?".
