I don't have those modules. In case it's possible to create a DTSI which applies for both of them then i prefer this. In theory there are two extremes:

1) Create a DTS for all Compute Modules (like the Raspberry Pi foundation)
2) Create DTS/DTSI files for all possible combinations

I think none of them are practical. In case 1 3rd party vendors would start to copy the DTS file and case 2 is hard to maintain. So we need to try something in the middle by starting with a DTSI file which applies to all CM3 (including the Lite) and a DTS which applies to all Raspberry Pi IO Boards and include the CM3 DTSI.

Yeah, that's the idea.

Btw i forgot to mention this needs to be documented here [1] in a separate patch.

AFAIK this combination is not recommend, because the old IO board doesn't provide enough power for all use cases. But that's not the point about my comment. We need to describe the combination.

How about "Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 on a IO board" and "bcm2837-rpi-cm3-io.dts" ?

Okay, i'm fine without it but then we need a comment that the upcoming DTSI should apply to CM3 and CM3-Lite. Also the commit log should mention the CM3-Lite so everybody understand it.

Please wait a little bit before sending your second version to give the others some time for comments.

Thanks
Stefan
