In your upgrade, did the bootloader/initramfs/kernel version change ? The passing of the device tree to the kernel is (commonly) part of the bootflow, so changes to any of the components in that flow could cause the different device tree usage you are seeing. The bbclass and recipes involved wouldn't have been packaging up the barebox tree and pulling it into the kernel in zeus, so while it isn't impossible, it isn't likely to be in the build or packaging changes.
