The omap3 boards do this. For example, the beagle-xm board includes
the twl4030 files
#include "twl4030.dtsi"
#include "twl4030_omap3.dtsi"
These files setup the PMIC regulators, but the beagle-xm modifies the
PMIC settings phandles.
&vaux2 {
regulator-name = "usb_1v8";
regulator-min-microvolt = <1800000>;
regulator-max-microvolt = <1800000>;
regulator-always-on;
};
I was trying to mimic this behavior when I did it for the da850-evm,
however, it seems like a moot point we merge the
tp6507x.dtsi contents into the da850-evm.dts.

I'm going to try and revisit the LCD again first, but I'll try to do
them both this weekend if I can get some time.
