I don't think these is any such decision, I'm just asking. I know that we only want to see DT on new archs and old hairy board code should be ridded using DT ... So I just want to know what the situation is like wrt Super-H.

Um so as an upstream maintainer I don't really know what to do at this point :-)
But a DT-only driver is uncontroversial so I'd merge that.

Okay that sounds good...
Thanks, Linus Walleij
