This is not completely true. You can use a generic kernel with a custom device tree.

The only problem is that distributions currently tend to package them together, but that shouldn't be obligatory.



You can't if the firmware provided DTB doesn't follow any upstream Linux approved bindings and instead uses some vendor kernel specific bindings.


Why would you combine mainline kernel with manufacturer device tree? Kernel includes its own device trees.


(S)he has a point. Sometimes the vendor dtb is all you have.
