Hi,
Well, the kernel in root A may have a different device tree, than the one in
root B.
This is the kernel version update case.
What would break, depends on the changes to the dt.

This I don't understand. Why not use vc.dtb as kernel DT? You can still have
barebox apply boot arg fixups and so on, but use /vc.dtb as base?

This can be made available to shell too if there's use for it, but I think
this is tangential.

What would break if you used vc.dtb as kernel DT?
