hi Andrew, 

  thanks for comments.

  this "fsl-ls1028a-rdb-dsa-swp5-eno3.dts" is also for fsl-ls1028a-rdb platform,
the only difference with "fsl-ls1028a-rdb.dts" is that it use swp5 as dsa master, not swp4,
and it's based on "fsl-ls1028a-rdb.dts", so I choose this manner,
if "fsl-ls1028a-rdb.dts" has some modification for new version, this file don't need be changed.

thanks,
hongbo
