no. With DT, the Hardware string doesn't change with the model but with the SoC. For instance, all kirkwood systems booting with DT have : Hardware : Marvell Kirkwood (Flattened Device Tree) [ defined in arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/board-dt.c ] Then, the model is found in /proc/device-tree/model and I don't think that things in /proc are changing a lot.
