I would really want to get rid of the 'i need to append the DTB' on
this board. the DT support in the bootloader have been backported , I
am really hoping we can use this DT aware LK, and thus rely on the
compatible string, like we do on db410c. So this is important to get
the name/property right, since we will get there. In fact, I am even
hoping that once we publish this DT aware LK along with this board,
the other myriad of 8064 based 'SBC' from various vendors will upgrade
their bootloader, so that we can have a single 'boot' image (generated
with the help of dtbTool) that works across all devices.
