I started to write a reply saying I care about this one for V3M and that
it should be converted to a .dtso. I then looked at the last time I used
it, ~2 years ago, and the next ting I would need it for is to play with
the GMSL framework being worked on by Cosmin and streams whenever that
is merged. I also looked at the file itself and there is some work
needed split it into more useful .dtso structure.
Inertia hit and I deleted the reply thinking I will do a new .dtso when
I test the above as the verification of a new overlay alone will require
the same setup and verification work.
tl;dr; I care about the function, I'm OK with removing the .dtsi; I will
recreate the functionality as .dtso files in future.
