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

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