If you only have one interface at all, it is usually better to make it
lan/dhcp, else default firewall rules will prevent you from logging in
through http/ssh. You can either borrow kirkwoods set_lan_dhcp (and
maybe move that with a better name to base-files), or use
ucidef_set_interface_raw to configure it appropriately.

ePAPR says your dts root nodes must have a "model" property that
uniquely identifies the board. I see that is currently missing even in
upstream, so please fix your dts files. Then you won't need to grep in
the compatible. On a side node, ePAPR also says that the recommended
format is the same as compatible but .. *looks at arm* .. apparently
nobody does that.

Why not parse this out of the cmdline?
