Then you have to take special care that the DTB is flash sector aligned and sufficiently padded - this extra effort and introduces a new, avoidable single point of failure. If the DTB can be at any flash location, you can for example have a fall-back version which is used to bring up U-Boot in a minimal configuration for recovery mode if the new DTB fails to work.
