If you want, you can ask for a name change in the Machine Registry.
On the other hand, I see no inherent issues when the board config name
0n U-Boot (and Linux?) don't match the MACH_ID's name.

But I forgot one thing: it seems also a good idear that the board
config names in U-Boot and Linux match.  But you don't have any Linux
kernel code pushed upstream yet, or have you?

No, this is not really necessary.

Yes.  You may want to clean that up in the near future, but it's not
blocking anything here.

Best regards,
