We moved to a pattern where we do describe the 'Toradex' peripherals
in the SoM dtsi but
keep their status disabled. Then if the peripheral is on the carrier
board we only have to
enable it in the carrier board dts, for peripherals attached to the
carrier boards (e.g. like the
cameras) we enable it in device tree overlays.
This did reduce code duplication a lot.
A customer who attaches a different camera would add its camera node
in its device tree
or overlay and keep the ov5640 or adv7280 nodes disabled.
So I would rather not change anything here.
