Only build-time. There is no hardware board ID of any kind on the
boards. But it mostly matters for SPL to know you have the right SPL for
the board, and cosmetics to have main u-boot report the right board
model (not important).

But the more I think about it I think we will move all the important
board parameters to a configuration header added to the SPL binary
image, and we will then also add board name there. There is simply too
many boards needing slightly different parameters but almost the same.
