Introducing an empty dts file just so you can say "this is a new
board" seems odd to me, but I'll go with whatever you feel it right.

It's historical.  There are other differences between rev-E and the
other reversions, such as; gpio-leds (red, green) and the reset GPIO
for ethernet.  As these are dts files (rather than dtsi) files, you
can only use one at a time.
