I was thinking that we would patch imx7d.dtsi users to include
imx7s.dtsi in the first patch that does renaming, and then patch them
back in the second patch that adds imx7d.dtsi. It sounds a bit silly,
but it really helps to make the history clear and diffstats nice. It
looks like something below.
