The thing is, we have only beagle_x15 target in AOSP right now, which
we use for all AM57xx based boards (as I understand). So "fastboot
flashall" expects "getvar product" to be exactly that, otherwise it
fails. We can check board_is_x15() to do what you're suggesting to do,
but in that case we won't be able to use "fastboot flashall" e.g. for
AM57xx EVM. How do you suggest to fix that case if we don't return
"beagle_x15board"?

Anyway, do you know any other usages of "getvar product" than this
use-case? As fastboot is Android protocol, I think we should make it
work properly with Android first, and all custom down-stream usages
should respect that.
