But as for DT, I think that's still a bit overkill for RZ/A series.

Why so?

Honestly, I don't see the value in it for small embedded systems.

u-boot has a specific job and is compiled for a specific board. There is no need for multi board booting.

For now at least, it'd be real neat to have one u-boot build for generic rz/a1 , concatenate DT to it and be done with a board port.

I think moving things DM is OK, but that's because it's all done in the same code that gets compiled today (no separate build steps).

And...then you have 3 things to customize:

1. config file (legacy .h file) because not everything is moved into Kconfig
2. menuconfig (for the stuff that has been moved)
3. DT (for a few things)
