We might also have to delete the file-path property in a board dts. I
just learned that this indeed works with /delete-property/ in dtc, but I
am not sure if we should really use this, the deep levels of device tree
includes are already hard enough to track (Not necessarily for socfpga,
but have a look at some i.MX6 SoMs)
