I admit I do not like a lot to have C code setting / fixing the
environment. This has the drawback that when a user try to set the
environment from the console as he wants, he cannot because the code has
reverted back and it is not easy to track. I would like to propose
another solution.

What about to export your is_hummingboard() function as U-Boot command ?
You can then use it in U-Boot scripts, and the correct fdt name can be
set in the "bootcmd" variable. Something like "if is_humming;then ..."

And if a user wants to use other names, he can because it is not hard-coded.

I do not exclude that the board will switch to distro environment, and
we will have a strong dependency with the code then.

Best regards,
Stefano
