It fixes the problem by providing the correct dts for BBB which the
vendor tree has had for sometime. In the absence of a specific dts
for BBB, it appears everybody (TI and OMAP maintainers, included)
has assumed that am335x-bone.dts is correct and safe.
I'm sure there's plenty of systems represented in dts/* where you
could cause damage by loading another dtb for a similar board from
the same SoC family...it's a common risk if you get the wrong dtb
with more-or-less arbitrary regulator settings.
