Hamoa-iot-som.dtsi includes iq-x-iot-som.dtsi and hamoa.dtsi. This change could reduce the duplicate code and review effort on a totally new purwa-iot-som.dtsi. If we found any bug, it can be fixed in one common file instead of two separate files. Same idea is used in x1-crd.dtsi. X1e80100-crd.dts include x1-crd.dtsi and hamoa.dtsi.

It's the same case for Hamoa IOT SOM vs Purwa IOT SOM.
