The Flattened Device Tree (FDT) is a data structure for describing the
hardware in a system. It is a derived from the device tree format used
by Open Firmware to encapsulate platform information and convey it to
the- operating system. The operating system uses the FDT data to find
and register the devices in the system.

Yes anybody can use FDT. It is just that your SOC and the driver
should have Device tree support.

You can check the following patch set.
"Add DT based ethernet driver for SMDK5250"
This adds the basic FDT support to SMDK5250 and enables the same for
Ethernet driver.
