OH SIde note, #2... thanks @Nishanth Menon !

We do have this example:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8e01fb15b8157a825d309ea2598b494dd81a7b42

So instead of `am335x-boneblack-pps.dtb` it could be: ....
am335x-bone-dmtimer-pwm7.dtbo or even am335x-dmtimer-pwm7.dtbo ?

Thoughts?
