[root@noyb devuan]# mkdir raspi2 raspi3
[root@noyb devuan]# mount -o loop,offset=$((512*8192)) devuan_ascii_2.0.0_armhf_raspi2.img raspi2
[root@noyb devuan]# mount -o loop,offset=$((512*2048)) devuan_ascii_2.0.0_arm64_raspi3.img raspi3

^^^
Differing partitioning, doesn't matter

[root@noyb devuan]# diff raspi2 raspi3
Binary files raspi2/bcm2708-rpi-0-w.dtb and raspi3/bcm2708-rpi-0-w.dtb differ
Binary files raspi2/bcm2708-rpi-b.dtb and raspi3/bcm2708-rpi-b.dtb differ
Binary files raspi2/bcm2708-rpi-b-plus.dtb and raspi3/bcm2708-rpi-b-plus.dtb differ
Binary files raspi2/bcm2708-rpi-cm.dtb and raspi3/bcm2708-rpi-cm.dtb differ
Binary files raspi2/bcm2709-rpi-2-b.dtb and raspi3/bcm2709-rpi-2-b.dtb differ
Binary files raspi2/bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb and raspi3/bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb differ
Binary files raspi2/bcm2710-rpi-3-b-plus.dtb and raspi3/bcm2710-rpi-3-b-plus.dtb differ
Binary files raspi2/bcm2710-rpi-cm3.dtb and raspi3/bcm2710-rpi-cm3.dtb differ

Differing Device Tree Blobs can matter

Only in raspi2: bcm2835-rpi-a.dtb
Only in raspi2: bcm2835-rpi-a-plus.dtb
Only in raspi2: bcm2835-rpi-b.dtb
Only in raspi2: bcm2835-rpi-b-plus.dtb
Only in raspi2: bcm2835-rpi-b-rev2.dtb
Only in raspi2: bcm2835-rpi-zero.dtb
Only in raspi2: bcm2835-rpi-zero-w.dtb
Only in raspi2: bcm2836-rpi-2-b.dtb
Binary files raspi2/bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb and raspi3/bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb differ

Definitely matters, Broadcom code in your case will cause bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb to be pulled in
regardless of which image you use (assuming you have a 3B not a 3B+).

diff raspi2/config.txt raspi3/config.txt
11a12,14
>
> ## kernel
> kernel=kernel8.img

Binary files raspi2/kernel7.img and raspi3/kernel7.img differ
Only in raspi3: kernel8.img
Common subdirectories: raspi2/overlays and raspi3/overlays


Suggest you copy the Broadcom binaries from a working image (stretch) and overwrite the devuan
ones (or just try with bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb copied over first).
Please report back the results if you try this.

As an aside VLC media player has just been ported to work with the Raspberry Pi accelerated
hardware.
