I vote for unifying, but I think renaming is messy unncessary.

I'd rather just see reuse of the existing s905x .dtsi for any s905w or
s805x boards.  We can add compatibles to s905x.dtsi if we really need
to, but for now I don't even thing that's necessary.

IOW, for this patch, drop the new s905w dtsi, and just have the board
.dts include the s905x.dtsi.
