Ack, this file is the right place to enable OSPI because all our boards
have OSPI in use, and therefore it is configured at this common level
already.

And the reasons for delete-node is obviously that there is no dtsi file
that describes the AM6528 with its two cores only. If you consider that
bad layering, you should change your dtsi files ;). But I see no real
problem here, that pattern is not uncommon.
