*some* arm platforms have OpenFirmware.  The new OLPC for one.  :-)

But you're right, the OF naming convention is horrid and everyone
hates it, even the OpenFirmware users.  Michael Ellerman has been
working on renaming all the OF* references to DT* or DEVTREE*.

However, until that point, all of the device tree config options are
still named CONFIG_OF*, and I want to maintain commonality until
everything can be renamed all at once.
