No, our intention is to keep the filename unchanged. For example, imx8mm-var-dart-2.0-sonata-1.0.dtb would retain that name even if it also supports later revisions, provided that the same description remains correct for all previously supported hardware. Regarding the filename itself, would it be acceptable to include both the SoM and carrier hardware revisions, as in the example above? Or is there a preferred upstream naming convention for distinguishing these combinations? I have not found a clear example to follow where both revisions are included in the filename. We would introduce a separate DTS/DTB only when the hardware requires a different description, sharing the common parts through .dtsi files. Our preference is to distribute complete DTBs that the bootloader can load directly. > How about use boards compatible string? You add new compatible for new > boards, so user know this dts cover which boards. Could you give an example of how you would handle the root compatible property when the same DTB is used unchanged on multiple revisions? For instance, if SoM v2.0 and v2.1 on the same carrier can share exactly the same DT, would you retain the existing board compatible, or introduce revision-specific strings? How would those be represented in the shared DTS? Thanks, Stefano
