IMHO, creating different devicetree's wrt u-boot may increase extra
overhead interms testing or even if we write the new ones' from
scratch we might ended-up having the same nodes or properties since
most of the u-boot driver-model drivers are following similar usage in
of_match, fops and etc.

thanks!
