I'd do this in the bootwrapper.  I think it is easier to follow and
understand that way.

Okay, that makes more sense.  So, now if you want a common wrapper
image to boot on all of the routerboard variants, then you need to
pull all the tricks you have out of your hat to figure out what board
it is running on so that the .dtb can be updated.  Is there an eeprom
or something on the board which might store serial numbers or MAC
addresses?
