DT can be used on x86, and i suspect it is a much easier path of least
resistance.
And you can easily overlay Device Tree to an existing system by using
either a full Device Tree overlay (dtbo) or using CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC and
creating nodes on the fly.
Why do you need DT on a system that runs without it and Linux has all
means to extend to cover a lot of stuff DT provides for other types of
firmware nodes?
As i said, path of least resistance. It is here today, heavily used,
well understood by lots of network developers, has a very active
maintainer in the form of Rob Herring, and avoids 'showflakes' as
Florian likes to call it, so we are all sharing the same code,
providing a lot of testing and maintenance.
