I'd really like to get some kind of consistency. We've been using the
tegra20/tegra30/tegra114 variants pretty consistently within the kernel
and U-Boot, but other tools use the abbreviated form (t20/t30/t114).
Actually I think this is the only one that uses the abbreviation, so...

... perhaps introducing a --target {tegra20,tegra30,tegra114,tegra124}
option that deprecates -t20/-t30/-t114/-t124 would be a good option. I
for one sometimes get confused and can't remember the correct form to
use for cbootimage. It's mostly scripted these days, so that issue is
not that important, but using one variant only will also help to make
the various scripts consistent and easier to maintain.
