Presumably, yes.

At least Rob Herring is asking to maintain backwards compatibility
because some ditros are using newer device-trees with stable kernels.
I'm personally also tending to use the newer DTB with older kernel
version whenever there is a need to check something using stable kernel.
Perhaps losing sound is not very important, but will be nicer if that
doesn't happen.
