MPSS here in qcs8550 is a GPS only MPSS.

QCS8550 will have a different firmware release with sm8550, and it will 
have different memory reserved for the firmware to be used.
While firmware release along with memory map was not settled down yet.
That's why currently qcs8550.dtsi is an "empty file" and only include 
sm8550.dtsi. As long as the firmware release is settled down, we will 
have more detailed different node here.

By the way, RB5 gen2 will also relies on the current qcs8550.dtsi, since 
it is using the same qcs8550 soc, and will use the same firmware release.

We have patch version2 remove the qcs8550.dtsi, and have SOM dtsi 
qcs8550-aim300.dtsi include the sm8550.dtsi. While after discussion, our 
understanding is that we can have an qcs8550.dtsi like this. Feel free 
to let us know if it is not right understanding.

We can have a syncup to clear the confusing point if needed. :)
