So, the series will break existing DTBs for RTC and poweroff, right?
If this is unavoidable, should we at least have some warning messages
telling users about his breakage?
How to do that?
Just added it commit message or need runtime warning?
runtime, so that users can know why their installed DTBs break with the
new kernel.
