Hi Rob,
i do not understand the problem as there is a target base dt...mt7986a-bananapi-bpi-r3.dtb.
Do you mean that overlays should be merged with basedt at compiletime?
We pack the base-dt and all overlays into one fit image and let uboot dynamically select the combination to apply. E.g. check if emmc is available, if yes apply emmc overlay else the sd one,same for nand/nor.
Else i do not know *how* to fix as i don't see it as broken.
