What Heiko suggests seems reasonable to me.

It all depends on what your bootloader is doing and what you guys want
to do.  Chrome OS designs that I've worked on have had board
strappings that you can read a board ID from and that's how the BIOS
(like coreboot) will figure out which board ID it is running on.  I'm
not aware of such strappings on rk3399-evb.  Do they exist?

Of course, even without strappings it's possible to get the bootloader
to work sanely.  You can either define the revision number at build
time or you can store the revision number somewhere non-volatile.
