The devicetree source is maintained in the Linux repository because that is where the binding documentation, schemas, and validation tools are. The minor detail that there's also source code for an operating system in that repository is irrelevant. The intention is to copy updates from the Linux repository to the U-Boot repository after each stable release. This ensures that the devicetrees exported by U-Boot will always conform to a stable binding.
