If I'm correct, the differences between AX-2 and AX3-4 is:
* AX3-2 has two Ethernet interfaces, while AX3-4 has four Ethernet
interfaces
* AX3-4 is in standard mounted with a 2 GB additional DRAM in a
SO-DIMM slot, while the AX3-2 is not. However, it is not clear if
the SO-DIMM slot is present or not on the AX3-2 (could you confirm
this?).
* AX3-2 does not have a mini PCIe slot, while AX3-4 has one.
So I guess you could create a separate armada-xp-openblocks-ax3-2.dts
file to support this new board. Maybe at some point it will make sense
to have a common armada-xp-openblocks-ax3.dtsi that both board .dts
includes.
Best regards,
Thomas
