Device manufacturers frequently ship multiple boards or SKUs under a
single software package. These software packages will ship multiple
devicetree blobs and require some mechanism to pick the correct DTB for
the board the software package was deployed. Introduce a common
definition for adding board identifiers to device trees. board-id
provides a mechanism for bootloaders to select the appropriate DTB which
is vendor/OEM-agnostic.
Please extend CC list to more architectures? linux-arm-kernel, risc-v etc; since
the proposal below is not specific to ARM but any architecture is using the
devicetree.
Wouldn't devicetree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx will have concern folks from all the architectures?
Please correct me.

Thanks,
Amrit.
