Is this really necessary? It puts another burden on people building U-Boot, distribution networks, and last but not least users, who will need to pick the correct binary blob, after trying to find out which board they actually have.
Even past versions can detect the installed RAM correctly and will modify the DT accordingly, I assume? Why not make an inquiry on GMAC1_MDIO to tell whether it's a YT8512C (->v1.2A) or another YT8531C (->v1.3B), in the ethernet patch set, and likewise update the device tree dynamically then?
