Yes, my experience with DT on powerpc teaches me that, although DT
sounds wonderful in theory, in practice kernel/dtb/uboot form a love
triangle (or perhaps a hate triangle) where all three points must be
exactly up to date with each other. If one part is even just a month
or two too old/new, then your kernel might not boot.
