There are a few other differences between raspberrypi_defconfig and 
raspberrypi_dt_defconfig:

   * Kernel version 3.12.28 vs 3.19

   * Kernel provided config vs local config

   * Toolchain with C++ support

Should the dt version take precedence on all these differences?

The readme file seems to indicate that device tree support is experimental. Is 
this no longer the case?

Note that I don't own the hardware, so I can't test the result.
