Yes, I think that is the plan.

Could you please call the new file "-reference" to be consistent with
kam9g? You may or may not also need to have a "-reference" .dts and
.dtsi files.

Strictly speaking board-armadillo800eva.c already uses DT,
albeit in a very minimal way. This is the reason I would like to
avoid using "-dt" in the new file names.
