Given the seemingly endless embedded boards not developed by "core
community" folks, wouldn't it be better for firmware to identify itself
with a distributed namespace like "vendor.model" and let the kernel
figure out whatever unique number that should be?
Requiring everyone to request a special number from kernel maintainers
seems unnecessary. Or perhaps you're trying to enforce tighter
development interaction...?
