Hi, Kristian

Just let you know that I will extend common files and extend/add some
existing/new official reference boards such as mt7623n with emmc/nand
and mt7623a with emmc/nand to avoid just copy-n-pasting those much
almost identical nodes into following new dts.

bananapi-r2 board is also derived and customized from mt7623n with emmc
board, so it will be reasonabe to be restructured to reuse the nodes in
common files.

The thing will happen in this two weeks. You can base the work to extend
yours. 

Your SoC is based on MT7623A? I guessed it is because I have seen some
warning happenings about generic power domains in your boot log.
