That's completely false. Both DT and non-DT can represent the exact same
HW, and use the exact same drivers. It's equally possible to write a bug
in a board file or a DT file (i.e. a typo or incorrect reading of the
schematic) that causes the wrong GPIO or IRQ ID to be used, and hence
for there to be conflicts. Any solution to this issue needs to address
both cases.
