hmm. &gpio5 references to imx6sl[l].dtsi, not dts, so what is the
problem here?
And we have this pattern all over the place.

What is different to the touchscreen that this pattern is not wanted
here but
accepted everywhere else? It is there for
  - backlight
  - irq of pmic
  - reset/gpio-regulator of wifi
  - leds
  - keys

And you have also done some review work there.

Here I am caring a bit about readability since I have still to do
maintenance work on this file, so I am a bit more concerned than that
it a) just works and b) is being accepted upstream.

If it is not allowed to have common things in the e60k02.dtsi file, what
about ditching that file alltogether and just have the two .dts files?

I personally prefer the v2 variant, but v3 is a compromise.

For comparison, the feature-complete version used by postmarketOS is
here:
