I think this second solution - using CONFIG_MACH_S3C2416_DT - makes
more sense because:
1, S3C24xx will not be converted to DT. This is a legacy platform.
2. DT version supports only part of boards and peripherals so most of
existing platforms will use non-DT boardfiles. Enabling OF on all of
them is not useful for them.
3. The same error and solution probably applies to MACH_S3C64XX.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
