My feeling is that we should just mandate DT booting for multiplatform kernels, because it significantly reduces the combinatorial space at compile time, avoids a lot of legacy board files that we cannot test anyway, reduces the total kernel size and gives an incentive for people to move forward to DT with their existing boards.
On this point, I strongly object, especially as I'm one who uses the existing non-DT multiplatform support extensively. It's really not a problem for what you're trying to achieve.
Perhaps not so surprisingly, but I'm with Russell on this one.
I'd like our work-in-progress DT support to coexist with all non-DT platforms.
