Afair there is only mt7623a and mt7623n. Mt7623a uses mt7623.dtsi as common part. These 2 soc are released 5 years ago...and only these 2 from that family).

So from my current pov the best way (to no more delay my hdmi series) is to move display related stuff in new mt7623n.dtsi and keep mt7623.dtsi as common. So we can avoid touching mt7623a.dtsi for now (can be done later if really needed).
