This is the general case, there will be a substantial level of compatibility between different base boards by virtue of the pinouts being the same but obviously there will be some variation in the specifics (and even where that exists it may not be enough to be visible at the DT level for the most part). That said there will doubtless be some plug in modules that want to rely on the specifics of a given base board rather than remain compatible with general users of the interface.
