yes of course, the "base board" is either the sd or the emmc fdt i added 1 patch before.
This way it allows all 4 combinations (sd+nand, sd+nor, emmc+nand, emmc+nor).
as i pointed in v4 of this Patch there is a commit in robs tree allow building dt overlays
from dtso-files...
"kbuild: Allow DTB overlays to built from .dtso named source files"
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/robh/linux.git/commit/?h=dt/next&id=363547d2191cbc32ca954ba75d72908712398ff2
maybe this is the right way to go (rename my current dts to dtso)?
