If they are truly dynamic, plug-and-play M.2 boards then they
shouldn't need any description in device-tree. If they are M.2 sockets
that use custom, vendor-specific pins (like what is the case on
sc8280xp-crd and X13s) then the HW they carry needs to be described
correctly. We've discussed that before.
