They are mostly the same, A5 include HiFi-DSP and NPU, but A4 is not. 
And  some peripheral modules are different, such as SPI and Ehernet phy.

I would like to wait for the follow-on chips to come out before 
considering a merger with common dtsi file.

Yes. U-boot will change size of reserved memory base on actual usage.
