I'm not sure if I completely understand your reply, so forgive me if I 
am stating some obvious things:
The reason why I brought this up is because, the way I see it, DTS is 
the replacement for (V)BIOS on ARM platforms, giving a set of parameters 
that drivers (nouveau) can use for that particular instance (the Tegra 
K1 SoC) of some more generic IP (gk20a). All the other devices nouveau 
supports have a VBIOS to describe this kind of information to us, hence 
we haven't seen this before. For CPUs there are plenty of examples 
though of such params defined in DT: in arch/arm/boot/dts/ : 
imx6qdl.dtsi documents the min and max volt for regulators, while the 
CPUs have a little freq<->volt mapping in imx6q.dtsi. GPUs are new in a 
sense that NVIDIA is the first to actively support upstream development 
(thanks!)
Secondly, we should keep in mind that DT is not tied to Linux; I believe 
Linaro's long term goal is to take the DT from the Linux tree and 
maintain it as a separate tree, to be used with U-boot, *BSD, maybe even 
Windows. These kind of parameters are not very platform-dependent and 
although they seem like a little detail that's easy to reproduce on 
every platform, looking at the sheer size of the VBIOS data that could 
mean a *lot* of duplication.
I bring this up not because I think I know better, but rather because I 
believe it's a good discussion to have now that there still is little 
legacy on ARM SoCs in nouveau. DTS is still a work-in-progress, and at 
this moment we have the opportunity to consider what needs to be 
documented in there and what doesn't. I would actually love to hear 
other, more experienced developers chime in as well (Rob Clark? Ben 
Skeggs? Linaro folks?) and see how they feel.
Cheers,

Roy
