+3) Customize the devicetree files
+Currently, the wm8650-mid.dtb file gets updated with new features. Untested features do not get added to device tree files so you may need to add them manually. If a device driver doesn't seem to be loading, check that it is in the devicetree file. If not, you may need to add it. If you don't know the required information, email the mailing list and someone will let you know. If you test it, and it works, email the mailing list so the devicetree files can be updated for other users.
