Is this something that you intend doing or is that future work?
I had a quick, and I mean quick, look through the arm smarc dtsi
and none of them appeared to be a 1:1 match with what I see here.

I assume that's got something to do with the "minimal" in the
patch's subject line, and some re-org of the arm files would be
required? In any case, you've not introduced any more dtbs_check
detectable issues so you're good in my book whichever way you do
it.
