Okay, this seems a little silly....

The wandboard has 5 versions:

solo: imx6dl-wandboard-revb1.dts

model = "Wandboard i.MX6 Dual Lite Board";

dual rev b: imx6dl-wandboard-revb1.dts

model = "Wandboard i.MX6 Dual Lite Board";

dual rev c: imx6dl-wandboard.dts

model = "Wandboard i.MX6 Dual Lite Board";

quad rev b: imx6q-wandboard-revb1.dts
model = "Wandboard i.MX6 Quad Board"; - > model = "Wandboard i.MX6
Quad Board rev B1";

quad rev c: imx6q-wandboard.dts
model = "Wandboard i.MX6 Quad Board";


Do you guys see the issue?  Either we change them "ALL", rev b or rev c...

Or "flash-kernel" needs to learn to copy more then one dtb (in this
case 5 *.dtb's)

PS, u-boot already can boot on all these with the same SPL/u-boot
image and detect which board and load the correct device tree binary..
