These files are useless, they don't contain device nodes for anything other than the UARTs. There is no existing system that has only UARTs and no other devices, so these files cannot be (and can never be) used anywhere.

Since the boot firmware in all real, and emulated, systems is supplying correct DTBs, we should consider not merging these files, and removing the likewise useless thunder-88xx.dts thunder-88xx.dtsi
