With newer bootloader versions the crd-r3 (aka CRD 1.0 and 2.0) is

Add the compatible strings 'google,piglin-rev{3,4}'. The hoglin entries
are kept to make sure the board keeps booting with older bootloader
versions.
The older bootloaders really look for the google,hoglin-rev3/google,hoglin-rev4
compatibles or just google,hoglin? If its just google,hoglin, won;t it pick the
crd-rev5+ dtb now?
They look for the -revN compatible, I confirmed that on my CRD 2.0.
Thanks for confirming Matthias! I'll also note that, in general, these
"google,board-revX" type compatible strings are all programmatically
generated. You can see at:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/depthcharge/+/refs/heads/main/src/boot/fit.c#70
...and whenever it's using this normal logic then it has a standard
fallback mechanism in place. On a random board in front of me
depthcharge prints out:
Compat preference: google,lazor-rev3-sku0 google,lazor-rev3
google,lazor-sku0 google,lazor
So it'll first try the very specific verison with rev and sku. Then
just by rev. Then just by sku. ...and if none of those match it'll
pick a device tree that has neither. The "newest" device tree always
has no revision number specified and that way if software doesn't
change but the revision bumps then we have no problem. We only add the
revision info for old boards.
Thanks Matthias/Doug for the clarification,

There are a few cases where we add special compatible strings and
these don't match on board/rev. This is fairly uncommon, though. You
might be aware of the special case of adding "qcom,sc7180-idp"
(without rev/sku matching) for "bubs". See:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/depthcharge/+/refs/heads/main/src/board/trogdor/board.c#136
