The problem I have with -common is that there are several layers of
"common" even among just the three of these chip revisions, and a
clear inheritance hierarchy between them (i.e. RK3588j and RK3588 also
have a sizeable chunk of their IP blocks that is "common" between
these two variants, in addition to those shared among all three
variants)

Hmm, I see, that's a rather valid concern. How about using "-base"
for what I called "-common", and "-extra" for what I called "-fullfat",
for the lack of a better term? Using "-extra" takes inspiration from
the way Linux distribution package repositories are commonly named, so
it should be rather familiar to nearly everyone.

Also, "-base" and "-extra" are rather short, so their shortness would
also make them stand out in the directory listing as something that isn't
just another board .dts or .dtsi file, which can only help.

Since there were no complaints, I'll move forward with sending a "real"
patch that uses "-base" and "-extra".
