I think it's worth doing this in C code. A good template for this is in
https://git.pengutronix.de/cgit/barebox/tree/arch/arm/boards/skov-imx6/board.c#n435
Here the board compatible is prepended with a more specific variant, for
the BBB this would be "ti,am335x-bone-black-wireless". With this
bootspec could pick the entry with the right devicetree without further
interventions.
