There are probably a lot of examples of this already. For example, for
pinctrl, people often want the SoC .dtsi file to include "pin
configuration nodes" (see
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt) for many
common pinmux configurations in the SoC .dtsi file, so that board files
can simply refer to the already-existing nodes rather than having to
write everything from scratch. Obviously, not all common configurations
are used by every board.

Using separate include files sounds like a reasonable idea.
