Dear Eric Nelson,

I'm just hoping to get a trivial amount of machinery so a boot script can figure out which of a set of DTBs to load:
imx6q-nitrogen6x.dtb, imx6dl-nitrogen6x.dtb, or imx6s-nitrogen6x.dtb
Fabio's recent patch for SABRE SD showed the same need.
Full agreement here.
This could be even easier on i.MX6 if we had more formalized (and lower-case) strings returned by get_imx_type(), but I wanted this to be very small.
I'm not sure how consistent the DTB naming is for other machines or if there's always the equivalent of get_imx_type().
In the worst-case scenario, you might end up with some mapping function full of strcmp()s ;-)
This is much easier for us to do, since we defer much of the scripting into a boot script.
It will be harder for Fabio to shoe-horn in until we get environment settings in an external file...
