Downstream packages like Debian flash-kernel rely on /proc/device-tree/model to determine how to install an updated kernel image.Would you support a patch having the following strings? model = "CAVM, Octeon 3860"; model = "CAVM, Octeon 6880";
The built-in DTBs are shared by multiple completely different boards (from multiple different manufacturers). How would those strings help for cases like flash-kernel? A.
