I've used CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB=y since the beginning mainly because
UC-7112-LX's proprietary bootloader lacks DTB capabilities (that I'm
aware of).
Compiling both (kernel and dtb) at the same time always made sense to
me, and it does, even when the hardware has a sane bootloader (i.e.
DTB enabled).
