I don't have a strong preference here, but to throw in more food for
thought, I see this DT-v1 vs. DT-v2 choice to be a bit analogous to the
DT vs. ACPI choice. The 'acpi' command line parameter, for RISC-V, can
be 'off', 'on', and 'force', where

  off -- disable ACPI if default was on
  on -- enable ACPI but allow fallback to DT
  force -- enable ACPI if default was off

So, if the default of the isa fallback command line option will depend on
Kconfig, then we may also want a 'force'.

Thanks,
