You are correct that the "wrong" DTB is picked in the case of flash-kernel not recognizing the specific model in question. However, this doesn't matter provided the "Method" of the selected entry is "pi" (which it is, as they're currently the only entry that uses this method).

The "pi" method specifically copies *all* DTBs (and overlays) found to the boot partition, deliberately, to permit boot media to be moved between Pi models. However, the way flash-kernel works it still reports the "selected" DTB at the top of the output (and then goes on to copy all the found DTBs anyway).

 Still, I should add an entry for the Pi 5, and move the "Raspberry Pi *" catch-all down to that (and adjust the other catch-alls for various board revisions).
