any opinions about this? should i disable all new nodes and enable them in the
dts for specific board (bpi-r2/mt7623n-rfb)?

have prepared it here [1]

yes, bananapi r2 has external mt7530 switch connected to gmacs 0+1 with its ports 6+5

or should we split dtsi to have a common part (mt7623.dtsi), and one for
soc (mt7623n.dtsi/mt7623a.dtsi)?

mt7623.dtsi => mt7623n.dtsi => mt7623n-bananapi-bpi-r2.dts
mt7623.dtsi => mt7623a.dtsi => mt7623a-unielec-u7623.dts (not existing yet,
openwrt seems to use a board-specific dtsi)
