I think this second solution - using CONFIG_MACH_S3C2416_DT - makes more sense because: 1, S3C24xx will not be converted to DT. This is a legacy platform. 2. DT version supports only part of boards and peripherals so most of existing platforms will use non-DT boardfiles. Enabling OF on all of them is not useful for them. 3. The same error and solution probably applies to MACH_S3C64XX.
