from my POV, it seems more convenient to stick to DT compatible, as it's then
going to be referenced in the other places as well, so it's probably going to
mean less confusion.

I could still grep for wrt1200ac with the following code and find out the
proper device/image:

 Device/linksys_caiman
   $(call Device/linksys,WRT1200AC (Caiman))
   SUPPORTED_DEVICES += linksys-wrt1200ac
   ...
 endef
 TARGET_DEVICES += linksys_caiman

and if we're going to rename it, we should fix all the references in the wiki as well.

seems ok to me.

quite weird, but that's a life, still DEVICE_TITLE is going to make it clear.
