This looks wrong to me: the devicetree should never care about
particular file names in a Linux repository.
Usually what happens is that the device driver must work with
a particular firmware version, so the driver is the one that
constructs a name based on what firmware is knows and what
hardware it is running on, so a newer version of the driver
can attempt to load a newer firmware that may be incompatible
with the old driver.
The other patches in the branch all look fine to me.
Can you resend the pull request without these patches and
try to come up with a different approach?
