I like the approach in general to simplify things. One comment though:

AFAICT, Linux uses multiple dts/dtsi files for espressobin. So your
approach to move to one single file contradicts the (planned after
comphy conversion) move to the Linux dts/dtsi files.

Yes. Andre please also comment on this.

Thanks,
Stefan
