The QEMU maintainers don't really agree. I think the ARM virt platform is the wrong way around with QEMU generating the DT. There was a patch series to allow sysbus devices to be created on the command line like you can with PCI. This would have allowed a front end script to generate a QEMU command line from a DT. I'm not sure if it ever got in. It would lower the bar to adding new platforms to just writing models for blocks perhaps. I'm not sure there's enough interest. The number of ARM platforms supported in QEMU is much less than the kernel. Rob [1] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/devicetree/devicetree-rebasing.git/
