In fact we had the discussion together with Arnd (IIRC) on #armlinux :)

The reason is we wanted to avoid flooding arch/arm/dts/ with all the 
possible combinations of board revisions.

The idea was to put in place a git repository at stlinux.com to provide 
the DTS for all the STi boards, and try to keep arch/arm/dts/sti* simple.

I agree this is not comfortable.

The problem is that your patch is not enough. We would need to create 
much more files, because for example, the i2c used are not the same 
between rev. C and rev. E.

It gives theses files only for b2020 support:
   arch/arm/boot/dts/stih415-b2020.dts
   arch/arm/boot/dts/stih416-b2020e.dts
   arch/arm/boot/dts/stih41x-b2020e.dtsi
   arch/arm/boot/dts/stih416-b2020.dts
   arch/arm/boot/dts/stih41x-b2020.dtsi
   arch/arm/boot/dts/stih41x-b2020x.dtsi
