Why do you say so?

It doesn't depend on the CPU architecture. It depends on how the board designer
wired the board. A non ARM platform could also face the same problem as beagle.

It is not a non DT fallback. I believe many are still using non DT boot and it
needs to work at least till we move all functionality to purely DT.
