When no dedicated oftree image is provided, barebox checks for the presence of its own internal oftree, assuming it as a good choice for boot. This fallback method breaks the usecase when a modern OF-based barebox is used to boot a legacy ATAG dependent non OF based vendor provided kernel (e.g. ATAGs will be switched off). Unfortunately those kernels are being still actively shipped today. Change barebox according to the principle of least surprise: when no oftree data is proactively configured, then perform a non-oftree boot. Make the fallback-use of the barebox internal oftree an opt-in feature. Note: this will break boards where the boot process relied on this feature, e.g.: oftree based barebox plus oftree based kernel without an explicit given dts. For those boards global.bootm.internal_oftree_fallback=1 should be set.
