As one that's going to be dealing with this, please don't take the DTS files from the kernel. If you do this, I can guarantee that within a year almost no ARM board using DT will boot a mainline kernel. The reason is that vendors have enough trouble (and failing) tracking a single tree, adding yet another will just end to the vendor trees as far as the eye can see. Maybe, maybe, EVMs from silicon vendors will still boot, but I doubt any other customer board will work.
A bit late (I don't follow the ML (or what happens in the ARM world) closely, but as I've recently read that ARM64 will go UEFI and ACPI, I wonder what was the reasoning behind that decision.
Does anyone really assume we will become high quality UEFI and ACPI blobs from vendors? And such with reasonable support/update periods?
For me that sounds like someone asked dreamers and was unable to adjust those answers in regard to reality.
