Comment:

 Exploring some parts of the firmware - but not others - when in secure
 mode is not a requirement - why should you be able to check the dropins
 when you can't look at everything.

 Including the dropins in the device tree just wastes kernel memory; the
 dropins are large compared to the existing properties.
