The problem is that the DT is supposed to be separate to the kernel and
the decisions can depend on what the kernel is currently capable of.
When the data is embedded in the kernel it's not an issue as the data is
attached to the rest of the code, when the data becomes detatched from
the kernel it becomes an issue.
I don't see any issue with leaving some things out of the DT bindings;
you were the one raising that as a concern.
