Well, with DT, there won't be any 'board type' anymore. There won't be any 'machine_is_xxx()' to sort it out anymore. Using DT, all that will be history - it's all got to be sorted out by either devices or device properties.
There is a board type - there's a root compatible property for the board which fulfils this purpose - so the situation with and without device tree is essentially the same.
