Yeah, I thought about it when I was writing the file and decided
against it. I guess it's just a style decision. If we combine these
two then I guess it raises the question: do we only combine entries
that list a single revision if they're the same board, or do we have
one uber entry at the end of the list that combines all
single-revision sc7180 Chromebooks? ...and in either case, what should
the description be?
Personally, though it takes up more lines of code, I prefer the
simplicity of having each entry here correspond to a single dts file.
Unless you feel really strongly about it, I'd tend to leave the
decision here to Bjorn.
