No I don't, I just didn't have the hardware to test it. In practice
different boards should have different GUIDS -- so you dont end up
updating and RPI4 with an RPI3 firmware. I am about to send a PR that
enables a dynamic GUID generation (which this patch depends on). That
patch reads the root compatible node and uses it to derive unique
UUIDs. I assume that all those boards have a different compatible node
and we wont have clashes?
