Can't we just remove this now? The only user is Seattle. Is anyone still 
using Seattle AND DT? There's been no real dts change since Feb '16.
There's a bit of clean-up needed in the Seattle dts files, so I'd like 
to remove them if there's not users.

If there are users, can't we just make them move to the new binding? 
Yes compatibility, but that really depends on the users caring.

I though Calxeda was using this too, but I guess we didn't get that 
finished. We should probably remove that secure mode flag as well.
