Is requiring a flattened device tree really the right approach to take, for
APUS? APUS borrows from/shares with m68k a lot of code.

flattened device tree)?

Happy hacking!

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
