As of now, there is no plan to move the older Samsung platforms to DT-based model. Moving to DT-based model requires people with the board support upstreamed for older Samsung SoC's to sign up for the dt conversion process without which testing will not be possible. So for now, we will have to maintain the old drivers also.
