None of the CHERI stuff is supported upstream, so from upstream's PoV
this is a low-volume dev-board/SoC with an experimental ARMv8.2-A CPU.

Do we actually need the dts for this board?

I have one on my desk; it boots vanilla Debian 12 via UEFI + ACPI just
fine, with the Debian 6.1.0-13-arm64 kernel.

Is there something that we can only do with the DT? i.e. some
functionality that isn't exposed via ACPI?

How do you expect this DT to be used?

Mark.
