Boards which have hardcoded DTB binaries in bootloader or are
kernel out-of-tree, they obviously needs to be still supported by
kernel.

I can add fsl,p2020. But it does not solve issue for other boards.
This string fsl,p2020 is not used by any board (yet).
Also Turris 1.x boards have burned some older DTB file in Flash NOR.
So it is problematic.
