There is no such thing, in practice. There is just one devicetree. We
need to resolve this as we are still not aligned on this, after many
months. I think in fact there is difference of opinion about the
nature of the firmware image itself. I see it is a combined whole,
where the various blobs are an unfortunate result of firmware
fragmentation and must be stitched together with binman, so they can
each see the full picture to the extent needed.
