'bone A4' is also not very descriptive. There also was an A4 revision of
the "old" beaglebone. I guess you're instead referring to a new die
revision?

What is the impact of this change on earlier devices?

napi is not a hardware feature, so it doesn't belong here (if anything,
it should be linux,disable-napi).
