Then what's the point to have it now? You are saying imx6ul-isiot-common.dtsi is created to accommodate the common things across emmc and nand SoMs, but it actually contains LCD and Touch such base-board level of stuff. Confusing. I feel the abstraction is wrong from the beginning. Ideally, we should have something like below. - imx6ul-isiot.dtsi - imx6ul-isiot-kit.dts and imx6ul-isiot-carrier.dts The -isiot should have everything on SoM and common stuff between -kit and -carrier boards, while -kit and -carrier include -isiot and contains the base-board specific things. The -isiot can have both emmc and nand devices with "disabled" status, and let firmware turn device on per SoM it boots. In that case, the abstraction level can be less and clearer. Thoughts?
