Suggestions needed for resolving DT issues between kernel 3.10 and 4.4

[Fawad Lateef]

Hi,

Just as an update (and for future reference for anyone having similar issue):

I got this all this sorted-out. Had to change some dt-binding for
device and it was mostly drivers related changes for hardware
components. Mostly nothing to do with DT.

Thanks
