Well, the hard guideline should require that the DTB be updateable and not linked with nor generated by the bootloader or firmware. That implies some storage separate from the bootloader but this doesn't need to be a filesystem.
Wait, what!?
Much as I think a bunch of the current problems have been caused by being overly keen to push the dtb into firmware, we shouldn't *ban* the original Open Firmware model of the device tree, where it is generated by the firmware and consumed by the OS.
