Real hardware as DTS please. There is no need to add some skeleton for
specific SoC. What if every SoC goes that way?

Feel free to create re-usable components in DTSI ways, still reflecting
some hardware parts.

Real hardware is needed.

No development bootargs.

A bit weird... especially without any comment.
