Ideally, we don't include *.dts files, only *.dtsi.
But I don't see a better immediate solution.

As the Kingfisher is actually an expansion board for H3ULCB (with R-Car H3
ES1.1 and ES2.0) and M3ULCB (with R-Car M3-W), turning ulcb-kf.dtsi into a
DT overlay would make sense.
That would also solve the issue of the 3 extra DTSes needed for all possible
combinations of ULCB and Kingfisher (r8a7795-es1-h3ulcb-kf.dts,
r8a7795-h3ulcb-kf.dts, r8a7796-h3ulcb-kf.dts (perhaps more to follow?)).
But that's too premature, without upstream support for the easy loading of
DT overlays.

And how to support from an overlay the addition of "shimafuji,kingfisher" to
(not replacement of!) the main compatible value?
