Heiko,

thanks for the link, I must have completely ignored it! Now that I
think about it, it may be very useful for kirkwood-98xsomething.dtsi
that is a special Kirkwood with a bunch of IP removed (but only some
boards). That way we could consolidate the common SoCs and use
/delete-node/ for the special case SoC.

Anyway, for CuBox ES, I either prefer the v2 approach just send - or
have a cubox-common.dtsi with two board dts for 1G and ES each. We use
this structure a lot and Andrew showed it even works for up to 5 or 10
different variants.

Sebastian
