Some systems don't provide a useful device tree to the kernel on boot. Chasing around bootloaders for these systems is a headache, so instead le't's just keep a device tree table in the kernel, keyed by the SOC's unique identifier, that contains the relevant DTB. This is only implemented for M mode right now. While we could implement this via the SBI calls that allow access to these identifiers, we don't have any systems that need this right now.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
