Re: [1/3] ARM: dts: imx51-zii-common: create common include dtsi

Nikita:

Since you are mostly arguing against the suggestions I made to Andrey
Gusakov in off-list review, I'll respond.

There are three boards that share that configuration almost to a T,
with the only difference is the particular GPIOs used. Putting it into
a common file avoids repeating the boilerplate and makes it explicit
to the reader that those settings are shared.

We are now starting to give Andrey Gusakov conflicting
recommendations. For the sake of moving forward, can we agree that
this and similar comments are relatively minor and defer to the
maintainers to make a call which way to go?
This way Andrey has a clear way on how to move forward with this set.

There are at least two boards that use that UART2 as is. Same as above
this was done to reduce boilerplate.

Ditto.

Same as above. Avoiding unnecessary repetitions.
