but these are the filenames in linux' device tree directory - arch/powerpc/boot/dts, and I'm assuming people do something sane like dtc -I $file.dts -O $file.dtb.
Argh... what a mess.
are you suggesting we rename u-boot's config files too?
Well, my personal preference is to have the official board name and the related file names match as closely as possible, probabl;y just using lowercase letters for the files.
I don't think it's exactly intuitive to have a board named "mpc832xemds" and the related files use "mpc832x_mds".
That looks awfully broken to me.
At the momnt, the U-Boot code looks OK, so if you do it differently in Linux, you should fix it there.
Just my $ 0.02 (well, I think I should say $ 0.03 given current exchange rates ;-).
