The devicetree file may not be provided, so avoid a failure in that case.
Can you provide a bit more information on when/why this shouldn't be a failure? I assume likely x86? or Aarch64 with ACPI instead of OF?
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.
