As Andrew Lunn mentioned to me earlier, we should consider the fact that
the dts file names are being used by Debian's flash-kernel.  Oh no!
Another ABI! ;-)

Personally, I think dtc should be using the board compatible string, and
naming the resultant dtbs the same, eg

$ dtc kirkwood-dreamplug.dts
globalscale,dreamplug-003-ds2001.dtb

This would free us up to rename the dts files as needed.  dtb filenames
would be guaranteed unique and consistent.  It would also allow us to
catch inadvertent compatible string collisions earlier.

thx,

Jason.
