(I want to make sure I didn't misunderstand.) In my hypothetical
example where something changed in 8756 and up...

for a 8734 DT, I would specify: smp8734, smp8910, smp8642, nb8800
for a 8758 DT, I would specify: smp8758, smp8756, smp8642, nb8800

Is that correct? If yes, that works for me.

Regards.
