"fsl,P2020RDB-PC" compatible string was present in Turris 1.x DTS file just
because Linux kernel required it for proper detection of P2020 processor
during boot.

This was quite a hack as CZ,NIC Turris 1.x is not compatible with
Freescale P2020-RDB-PC board.

Now when kernel has generic unified support for boards with P2020
processors, there is no need to have this "hack" in turris1x.dts file.

So remove incorrect "fsl,P2020RDB-PC" compatible string from turris1x.dts.
Oh, I thought it was not possible to modify DTSes.
Boards which have hardcoded DTB binaries in bootloader or are
kernel out-of-tree, they obviously needs to be still supported by
kernel.
If it is, can you have a common compatible to all p2020, for instance 
"fsl,p2020', so that you can use it in patch 5 instead of 
of_find_node_by_path("/cpus/PowerPC,P2020@0") ?
I can add fsl,p2020. But it does not solve issue for other boards.

This string fsl,p2020 is not used by any board (yet).

Also Turris 1.x boards have burned some older DTB file in Flash NOR.

So it is problematic.
