It's kind-of a question for the devicetree folks. The last time (a
while back now) I asked for some general advice on how a DT should be
shipped with hardware, being able to update the DT without replacing the
whole of firmware was seen as a good thing. Combine this with that we
should try (yes, we can't today due to incompatible bindings) share the
DT between U-Boot and the kernel (or really, U-Boot and anything but
again, last I checked the BSD bindings were very very different),
embedding doesn't seem good.
