To quote configs/bsp.ref:
| barebox will substitute its own device tree when no kernel device
| tree was supplied. This is useful for development, but not recommended
| for use in production as DT binding breakage is not an infrequent
| occurrence.
|
| We take care in DistroKit though to specify the DT when we specify
| a kernel, so enable this option as it's occasionally helpful for quick
This rationale applies to all boards we have that use DT, so enable
CONFIG_BOOTM_OFTREE_FALLBACK everywhere.

We have an override to enforce BOOTM_OFTREE_FALLBACK=y in DistroKit, but
that only makes sense of course, if we are actually using DT.
This is currently the case for all our barebox use, but not all our
platforms use barebox. Therefore make the rule conditional of having a
barebox config and BOOTM_OFTREE being actually enabled.
