Did you miss the description I wrote few lines earlier or are you
asking for something else? This is what I wrote earlier:

So, clearly only ONE of the tables should be used.

Why forcing on the order here? For example, consider a case where the
platform can have four tables, A B C D. Now DT is free to pass all
four or just a subset of those. Like, for some boards table B doesn't
stand valid. And so it may wanna pass just A C D. And so keeping these
tables in order is going to break for sure. Flexibility is probably
better in this case.
