I really dislike this implementation of naming policy in code.

And this part seems to impose a board-naming requirement
to implement the dtb-naming requirement:

I sent patches last year to provide default "cpu" and "board"
environment variables that could be used by boot scripts to
implement this part.

That seems more generally useful.

Otherwise, I'd rather just see an environment-variable convention.
