Compatibility of older kernels with new DTs isn't really something that
we strive for. The whole point about ABI stability is to avoid requiring
DT updates with new kernels because a DTB may not be in a writable
location. Practically I'm not aware of such a case on Tegra.

However, the kernel is always assumed to be in a writable location, if
for nothing else but to ensure it can be updated to fix security issues.
So if a new DTB is flashed it can be assumed that users will be able to
also flash a new kernel to work with that DTB.
