> In this change, the SoM hardware except SoC is described by iq-x-iot-som.dtsi since it's common between Hamoa and Purwa. Hamoa and Purwa SoC hardware is described in hamoa.dtsi and purwa.dtsi. Hamoa-iot-som.dtsi includes iq-x-iot-som.dtsi and hamoa.dtsi. This change could reduce the duplicate code and review effort on a totally new purwa-iot-som.dtsi. If we found any bug, it can be fixed in one common file instead of two separate files. Same idea is used in x1-crd.dtsi. X1e80100-crd.dts include x1-crd.dtsi and hamoa.dtsi.
Krzysztof,
Please let me know your opinion on this. This could be a common case for
Hamoa/Purwa boards share same PCB. Share same dtsi file like x1-crd.dtsi
would reduce maintenance effort.
