Presumably, yes.
At least Rob Herring is asking to maintain backwards compatibility because some ditros are using newer device-trees with stable kernels. I'm personally also tending to use the newer DTB with older kernel version whenever there is a need to check something using stable kernel. Perhaps losing sound is not very important, but will be nicer if that doesn't happen.
