Hi.
1) Is the usage of device tree absolutely mandatory for powerpc boards
or just recommended and by combining appropriate defines in u-boot and
linux it can be avoided?
Consider it mandatory.
2) I understood that I can add my proprietary drivers without creating
nodes for them in the tree, is it correct?
Maybe, maybe not. Device Trees describe _hardware_, not drivers.
3) In order to compile DT blob from DT source, DT compiler (dtc) is
required. I have installed one on my ubuntu machine and successfully
compiled source, creating a blob. Is this the only way to go? Perhaps
there is some target in Linux or u-boot Makefiles which does this job?
Install the DTC anyway you want. I recommend grabbing
it from jdl.com and building it.
