The problem is that the content of the device tree isn't really stable -- if a new kernel version has a driver with a new required parameter for instance, suddenly your ROM device tree is out of date and much less useful.
Oh, that's a good point I forgot about; I suppose DT interfaces aren't considered part of the stability contract for users... Really Device Tree is somewhat "Linux-specific"-enough and low level enough that issues like this aren't ideal. But if we could just get to the point that was a problem, I'd be happier than now, I suspect!
