Marvell supplied my one one reference platform. So i can do some testing that the basic infrastructure works. But the problem with converting to DT is that there is a lot of brainless monkey work needed per supported board, and its very easy to make a typo. So each board converted to DT needs testing. I don't know if we can find testers for all the boards. But should we throw out working boards just because we cannot find somebody to test the DT version? Andrew
