So my concern with these three are that none of the EVT1, EVT2 or DVT
devicetrees correspond with the current Anacapa devicetree. All of them
have variations on the configured GPIOs. Some GPIO lines are renamed
while others are added.

Adding them is (eventually) fine, but I'd rather not do that while
we're shuffling the devicetree sources around.

Renaming them to accommodate changes in the one devicetree is what
we're trying to escape here, so having renames hide in the rest of the
shuffling is definitely problematic.

For example:

   -""                     
   +"L_FNIC_FLT"      
    "FM_CPU0_SYS_RESET_N"
   -""

I've pasted a script below that helps compare the various dts files.
You can use it to generate the reference from the current aspeed-bmc-
facebook-anacapa.dts, then generate the comparison files from the newly
introduced dts files.

To reiterate, I expect the shuffling of the dts files to result in at
least one of the variants producing the same devicetree as the current
aspeed-bmc-facebook-anacapa.dts.
