 Because we have many boards with small differents. but less memory on disk.
 at this time one DTB file need ~150kb. we have 1MB free, but we have

 every month 1 or 2 new boards.

Ugh, nothing comes to my mind, but as I said, I'm a newbie.  Maybe
someone else can chime in.

This depends on the changes you want.

If the change is in a part of the DT which you do not need to boot you
can just leave that part out and build overlay bits which you load at
runtime in your init scripts (needs kernel and dtc patches).

If the changes are required to boot there is some support in u-boot to
modify DTs but I am not sure how much functionality is desirable and
already implemented. Currently simplefb depends on u-boot modifying
pre-made DT nodes.

Thanks
