Yes, the SoM cannot work by itself. I'm thinking to follow the current 
practice:
     - One dts for base board + evb
     - One dts for the above + eMMC.

There is also possibility (a real one) some periphery to work with one 
SoM, and
other - not. For example A20-SOM204 or A64-SOM204 doesn't have PCIe 
support, but
RKxxxx-SOM204 will.

The power comes from the DC jack not from PCIM. In this case, is this OK?

Same here. Power comes from DC jack, not PMIC.
