Device trees I: Are we having fun yet?

Oh, I have hope that the vendors that have had enough planning to involve you in their designs will come out with something fairly sane, even though some of the recent patch sets can introduce a good amount of doubt.

My greater concern is the second-tier vendors, or the mass-market vendors that will do the bare minimum (and not quite know what they're doing, or at least not seeing the bigger picture), etc. It'll take quite a bit of education of them to sort things out right, and it only takes a few of them going to market anyway to make the kernel side of thing very interesting and possibly messy. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
