Yes - it should be the same dtb file for 2 reasons:
A) At this point in patch, we dont want to break am57xx-evm -
mentioned in diffstat to remind ourselves.
B) we are attempting to move all these "cape" like variants into
device tree overlays -> in which case the same dtb is reused even for
am57xx-evm, and overlay with panel and touchscreen for the "gpevm"
panel board.

So, in almost with 80% certainty, we might not introduce a
am57xx_evm.dtb in upstream - we really dont need to. In fact, upstream
kernel and current master u-boot does bootup successfully, and would
like to maintain it so (point A).
