kobo,glohd should be added to
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/fsl.yaml

hmm, pictures (we are talking about FCC ID NOIKBN437, right?) show two
uarts, next to each other. Which one is this? 
The other uart might be the same as in the tolino2-shinehd.

That is for emmc? And it is not populated, so probably better not
enable that here.

and also not add this.

I guess it might be a good idea to really compare it to the tolino2
shine hd. The boards seem to look similar, but not identical. Hmm,
different number of buttons?
The question is how similar they are. I think the Kobo Glo HD has a
good driver situation. 
The main PMIC RC5T619 (the rn5t618 driver supports that) is well
supported in mainline kernel. It should give regulators, RTC and battery
information.
The touchscreen (driver zforce_ts) should alse be supported. So
you might go further forward.

If you are really brave, you could add a complete devicetree on top
of my branch
kobo/drm-merged-5.10 of github.com/akemnade/linux. Besides of backlight,
it should give full hardware support (including a drm driver for the
display), so we can see what is different and whether we can use
a .dtsi file to define common things.
