Maybe. Although that argument is somewhat extreme because we already
have some of that same duplication throughout the other .dtsi files. By
the same argument we could save a bit of duplication by having something
like tegra-gpio.dtsi and including that in all the SoC .dtsi files and
only update the compatible string, because that's the only significant
change.

Duplication isn't a big problem for DTS files because the data is meant
to be stable anyway. So once it is in place and doesn't have to change,
it really doesn't matter if it comes from an include or it's duplicated.
