Unfortunately: this would effectively block me from improving the
support for older davinci boards.

Is there something blocking you from converting the board to device
tree? This is something i did with a lot of the Marvell boards a few
years ago. For a while, we had both DT and board setup files. After a
couple of cycles, we killed off the setup files.

Actually some board are supported both in DT and board files
(da850-evm) right now, but Sekhar wants to keep the support via board
files in the kernel so that's a no go.
