Now that all in-kernel-tree DTS files are properly /dts-v1/,
remove direct support for the older, un-numbered DTS
source file format.

Um.. why?  I just don't see a compelling reason to remove this
backwards compatibility.  It costs us very little to keep it around
indefinitely.

Because we are going to get rid of the cruft, simplify things,
and move forward.  Really.  This was the plan from the onset.

I agree, why are we removing backwards compatibility?  The dts-v1
format isn't that old, so I'm sure there are plenty of device trees
out there, especially on our BSPs, that haven't been updated yet.

They can run the conversion tool and be fine.

How about just printing a warning and saying that the device tree
should be updated with the conversion tool?

How about all the in-tree DTS files are already V1?
