All in all, user would see:
# flash-kernel
 DTB: sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime.dtb
Couldn't find sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime.dtb

I guess that the intent is to let user know the the right DTB for his board is 
sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime.dtb but this file cannot be found in the expected 
location (which is I guess /boot). 

I think this require some context knowledge from user to intepret this 
correctly. I think also that indicating where the DTB file is expected would 
give user a hint to look for an issue with kernel installation or kernel 
content.

How about something like:
# flash-kernel
This board requires DTB file: sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime.dtb
Couldn't find sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime.dtb in /boot


Hope this helps
