I still hope that device tree can be supported by jessie kernel
(3.16-ckt branch).
Maybe I asked for too much, but for tiny device like orion5x, smaller
kernel is always better.
Backport of DTS can be low priority, because user always can put their
local DTB under /etc/flash-kernel/dtbs/.
What I want is just backporting defconfig patch [1] to jessie-updates.
Thank you!
