In general the rule is to only take verbatim copies from the Linux
tree. The DT describes the hardware, so there should be no change
needed between U-Boot and Linux. The kernel has more reviewers for DT
changes, so their DTs are of better quality.
So if you think the DT in the kernel tree is wrong or missing out, you
should try to send a patch to Linux to get this fixed, then sync the
change into the U-Boot tree.
There is a way to make small changes to the DT that U-Boot sees: You
create a file with the same stub name, but add "-u-boot.dtsi", and put
your changes in there. Look into arch/arm/dts, there are plenty of
examples. However you should have a good reason for doing that, and
ideally would not need that at all.
Your case is somewhat interesting: the partition isn't technically
write-protected, I guess, it's probably just some Linux safe guarding
measure to prevent accidental overwrites of the firmware.
So read-only in there is strictly speaking not correct, so you should
try to get this fixed in Linux. Ideally U-Boot would add the read-only
property, after it consumed the node, so that the kernel does not stomp
over it (unless you want U-Boot environment access from Linux).
So in your case you should copy the existing kernel DT, and then
put: "/delete-property/ read-only;" in *-u-boot.dtsi.
What DT do you typically give to the kernel? Something loaded along
with the kernel? Or just the U-Boot DT, using $fdtcontroladdr?
