I agree. Since it is confirmed the dies are the same, the hardware
description should be the same as well, except for the external
differences (pinmux). Only downside is a slightly bloated DTB
containing nodes we will never use on the a31s.

IIRC, Allwinner's kernel treats them as the same as well.
