Ah the arrow is leading to confusion.

Actually we are not including dts here instead *.dtso file will be
overlayed to *-ride.dts to generate *-ride-r3.dts.

Below is the correct arrow sequence.

We refer to it as ‘module’ in our datasheet, so I use the same term
here. Thanks for pointing it out; we can proceed with the SoM name.
