We have software that looks at these in running systems, so I’d be ok not
to change. If changing, why not “BeagleBoard.org BeagleBone”? Not sure of
the convention to mention the SoC, but AM335x is not part of the product
name.  

Is it ok to change it or not then? Ok to move on to BeagleBoard.org.  

The Debian project most notably uses the "model" string:

https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/flash-kernel/-/blob/master/db/all.db?ref_type=heads#L2191

When that changes inside a dtb by kernel update, users may be unable to 
boot.
Therefore I would recommend against changing "model" values.

Maybe they will have to follow the change.
Don't know if this should not be changed over time even if they are wrong from
the beginning.

It would be nice to have a devicetree maintainer's opinion on this but I don't
think they will reach this message.

I think I will keep old model values for this series then, I don't want to
block this series on this topic.
