So, the plan for <device>.conf.. Ignore [] seperaters when creating your own *.conf...

[(1) Use the *.dts name, for the file name, and --dtb call...]
[For the Beagle xM in v3.7: omap3-beagle-xm.dts, so file will be "omap3-beagle-xm.conf"]

#!/bin/bash
#http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=tree;f=arch/arm/boot/dts;hb=refs/tags/v3.8-rc5
#        --dtb am335x-bone (BeagleBone (v3.8.x))
