Just FYI:  
Here is the NVIDIA Forum entry that describes the challenge.

Hi @Langhalsdino

One of our device engineers will push the patch so that you will be able to use it, hopefully later today.

Keep us posted!

Kind regards  
Alida

Just FYI:

I got it to work and will adjust the pull request accordingly. I just need to build a working `.dtb` that can be published. Currently it contains other modifications too, that are not relevant to this issue.
