I would rather make it more flexible at this point: we would still be
doing some code changes there to accomodate this, and it wouldn't be
much more work.

> Would it make sense to create the hwpack (vs just replacing the single kernel image package in the hwpack), as the dtb name specification in the leb-origen hwpack is quite strict (lib/firmware/*-lt-origen/device-tree/exynos4210-origen.dtb), and could lead to boot failures if it changes at some point later?

The dtb name specification in the hwpack supports basic "globbing", so
it shouldn't be difficult to specify a more general name (I never
tested glob in the DTB file name though, just the path).
