Maybe I'm missing the point, but 3.12.2y is still a 3.12.2 kernel with some added patches. There is no reason to handle this version like another kernel version, force all bcm2708 devices to use this kernel (Raspi may be the biggest provider for bcm2708 powerd board, it doesn't mean they are the only one) and so on. The fact that the current trunk build binaries for the raspi doesn't mean it targets only the raspi. There might be some better thing to do - as of today, it's possisble to have patches for a specific architecture - maybe you can take advantage of this, or maybe the OpenWRT makefiles should allow the possibility to propose patches for a specific arch profile.
