This is a local workaround I'va had lying around for a while.  Please
consider if it makes any sense at all, or if there are better ways
to solve the problem.

I don't have an actual upstreamed usecase, as this is an issue I've
met while trying to prepare for a never-finished ZyXEL WAP6805
support...

Your timing as good as I've been wrestling with this as well
in context of providing ath79 support for SPI-NAND[1].

At least for me, the use case is the equivalent of

     nand_do_platform_check $(board_name) ${upgrade_file_name}

without jumping through hoops of translating the output of $(board_name)
to the expected tar-dir name for each and every instance of the call.


[...]

* I can see a desire to check for a *specific* tar-dir name,
   rather than just "any" tar-dir name (wrestled with this for a while)

* Only one board seems to prevent a first-comma-to-underscore approach,
   the `img,pistachio-marduk` uses `sysupgrade-img,pistachio-marduk`

  [...]

Having spent quite a bit of time today thinking about the impact of
board-name changes, I can see use cases where the running system
doesn't know a priori what the range of acceptable tar-dir values are.

Take the case where `mfgr,board-name` gets a new, compatible variant,
`mfgr,board-name-special-purpose`. If you're running `mfgr,board-name`,
a strict check for `mfgr_board-name` would fail, even though the
sysupgrade-tar was applicable. This kind of board-compatibility check
should arguably be done with image metadata, either or both appended
or in the CONTROL section.

As such, I would welcome this change, as proposed by Bjørn.

I would suggest an update to the comment to reflect the change as
`has to include "sysupgrade-BOARD" directory` is no longer correct.
