You can't expect that to always be the case. The image format allows many different dts to be provided, so I could easily build with multi_v7_defconfig and have various dts for various devices in the same image, and just select a random one as default. Here, default is really a fallback, the right one is expected to be detected by this mechanism. And it really doesn't hurt to provide that information for proper detection. Note that this is done with many other cros devices in mainline (such as rk3288 veyrons). -- Paul Kocialkowski, developer of low-level free software for embedded devices Website: https://www.paulk.fr/ Coding blog: https://code.paulk.fr/ Git repositories: https://git.paulk.fr/ https://git.code.paulk.fr/
