Is it used automatically or does the userspace has to configure
something?

Mh, I don't understand. Does it now cause regressions or not? I mean
besides that there is a new unused interface?

I was just thinking of that systemready stuff where the u-boot might
supply its (newer) device tree to an older kernel, i.e. an older debian
or similar.
