There are many levels of DT.

You can of course add DT-support for anything driver-specific, such
as init data for some registers, or anything else you would normally
pass in through platform data. So please just do that if imx6 already
has support for such things.

What we're discussing about right now on devicetree-discuss
is where to put the mapping tables etc that is currently registered
by the board, that has no obvious solution as there is some
disagreement on how to do that.
