HAMOA-IOT-EVK and PURWA-IOT-EVK share a similar board design. Extract
the common components into separate files for better maintainability.

SoMs do not share actual hardware. DTSI does not represent what looks
similar to you, but actually common parts.

The two SOMs share the same hardware except for the SoC. What are your
suggestions for the file architecture?

Not likely. That's like saying SM8650 and SM8550 share the same
hardware... Take the Som to your hand. Can you remove the soc? No? So
you're done. Separate device.

Although the two SOMs differ, they share an almost identical hardware layout. In this scenario, would there be any issue with extracting the common DTS parts into a separate file?


Best regards,
