Okay, after checking the current linux source tree I noticed that
Kontron did upstream the carrier board .dts files but in a different
manner:

 * arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/imx/imx6dl-kontron-samx6i-ads2.dts
 * arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/imx/imx6q-kontron-samx6i-ads2.dts

This means that barebox would need to adapt the includes. Can you please
mention that the .dtsi are not used by linux mainline and instead a
different approach was used?
