Does this just mean that recent kernels are needed in order to benefit
from FDT passing, or is Q4D06 unable to boot kernels that expect a
non-flattened (un-flattened?) device tree?
I'm specifically asking because recent kernels don't like my SD card
(only one in about twenty or fifty boots succeeds; two different
failure modes), so I'd need to make sure I diagnose and fix that
before upgrading OFW the next time.
