Without device_type property set as memory for the node, the generated dtb can still work when it gets passed to kernel by u-boot, since u-boot will fix it up.  But kernel will not boot due to that it fails to parse the memory node, when the dtb is appended to kernel image as it is.

I'm a little confused. The first part of the statement implies that the kernel will boot without the device_type property, but the second part of the statement says that the kernel won't boot.

The second part is talking about using John Bonesio's patch to append dtb to zImage like: 'cat zImage babbage.dtb > zImage_w_dtb'.
