This is our understanding. For DT aware boards, no ATAGS are needed /used any more. > the way to go forward, so maybe we can already start with that?

That was the idea behind Heikos code: we don't actually care what the kernel expects, we just pass it a binary blob and assume it will understand it. This may be a blob with ATAGs, or a blob with a DT - only the kernel needs to know, the code in the SPL remains lean and flexible.
