I understand.

IMO the upstream DTS should work without depending on lk2nd.

I'd add the board and msm id to the DTS for that reason.

If not then I'd put a comment into the DTS explaining the dependency.

For preference the upstream dts should *just work* as much as possible 
without requiring churning of bootloader.
