DT changes do get merged through the arm DT tree separately.  ARM has
absurd tree proliferation, but I think in this case it actually makes
sense.  DT is the most common place I have merge conflicts when working
on platform enabling across the steaming piles of subsystem trees out
there, and keeping DT separate means that a merged -next tree can be
built sanely.
