I figured that in the defconfig it presents a barrier to getting rid of
the board-specific defconfig, while the dts is still going to be
per-board.  In this case the device tree is not baked into firmware so
it's just as easy to change things in /chosen as in .config (actually
slightly easier since you only need to rewrap the kernel rather than
rebuild).
