Yes, either of those, but also, even on platforms which use a
devicetree, some don't have it in the extlinux file. For example rpi
passes it through to U-Boot from its own closed-source firmware.
Somewhat related: my opinion with extlinux (and EFI for that matter)
is that we should be using FIT.

Simon
