Sure

Sharing dtsi file for similar boards is generally fine, I saw a few
other SoC maintainers have done the same..

In the practical cases, we have to evaluate and plan carefully, it
should be manageable to support fixed number of boards for one file,
but would be nasty if expect one common dts file to cover all boards..

Anyhow, I think we can revisit this idea and having incremental patch
later, it's not the problem for now

Thanks for the suggestion
