Makes sense to me for things like Nexus phones here. What about DB410
for example? Is there hope for a fix there? My bootloader is only a
couple of months old and needs the properties still.

There won't be a fix for the 410c.  We barely got them to respin to use PSCI.
Stephen can correct me if I am wrong on this.

If this is fixed, it would be 8996+.  If..........

So this means introducing the msm-id's for the boards that currently require it,
and for the boards that will require it in the future.  And this would stay in
effect until the bootloader is able to parse the compatible strings or figure
this out without the msm-ids.

But if the bootloader at any point in the future would support picking a
dtb by compatible strings instead of {msm,board,pmic}-id we wouldn't we
just be back to the ridiculous compatible strings that tipped over into
acceptance to these ids in the first place.

Or do we expect the boot loader to do a deep scan of the dtb to match on
multiple nodes from the tree?

Am I missing something here?
