In commit e6a6928c3ea1 "of/fdt: Convert FDT functions to use libfdt",
the kernel stopped supporting old flat device tree formats. The minimum
supported version is now 0x10.
Ugg. Is that something which needs to be supported? Supporting it at
this point would mean adding support to libfdt.
Well it would have been nice to keep supporting v2, dropping it broke
kexec-tools for example. But it's done now, so we'll just deal with the
fallout.

If you can CC linuxppc-dev in future on patches that fundamentally change the
device tree parsing that would be appreciated :)
