Oh.  I was wrong to trust Olimex naming of the dtb they ship, then.

Some "nedko" at the "olimex irc channel hinted about dts files here: 
https://github.com/OLIMEX/DIY-LAPTOP/tree/master/SOFTWARE/A64-TERES/blobs

This is out of my league - hope someone can make use of this.

@Vagrant: You'd better remove my name as tester of a64-olinuxino dtb, as 
I don't (yet) own such hardware - only what might become named 
a64-teres.
