The time lines set force in doc/driver-model/migration.rst for different subsystems to move to the driver model have been passed.
I ran a test on Travis CI https://travis-ci.org/xypron2/u-boot/builds/569776600 that showed only 8 boards remain that cannot be built with CONFIG_DM=y.
H2200
- h2200
Renesas
- sh7757lcr
- sh7752evb
- r2dplus

I think it is time that we enforce CONFIG_DM=y in U-Boot and remove boards that do not support it.
Agreed, that is a small list. I think Tom should make the call though.
Sure it is not up to me to take the decision. But I would like to get the opinion-forming started.
We have discussed on the dev list that we should strive to move partitions to the driver model and to provide a better integration between the drivers and the UEFI sub-system. CONFIG_DM=y is one of the prerequisites.
Was there ever a warning about this , to notify the maintainers that the boards need conversion ?
Since more than a year all maintainers are urged to move to DM_MMC, DM_USB, DM_SATA, etc. See doc/driver-model/migration.rst. These all require that DM is enabled. The maintainers of the boards concerned are on copy.
