My opinion isIn my opinion user-friendlyness is more important then developer friendly that from an end-user point of view it's much easier to have one binary that works on all different board versions. If not users will have to know which board version they have to flash the correct U-Boot.
As long as the kernel uses separate device trees, U-Boot needs to know which one to load. As it currently stands, U-Boot uses the wrong name that does not match either of the names used by the kernel, which means it will not be able find any of them.
I'm not sure I get your point. The devicetree will be passed to the kernel via a pointer in a register, the kernel does not need to load the devicetree into memory, it will use the one passed by U-Boot.
