I don't see much of a problem with that. If the chips are quite
different, then this
would be the right way to do it, and it matches how most dts files are
structured
on arm and others as well.

It would be nice to move over the the bluestone .dts to the apm82181.dtsi file
when that gets added, if only to ensure they use the same description for each
node, but that shouldn't stop the addition of the new file if that is needed for
distros to make use of a popular device.
I see a couple of additional files in openwrt [1],

[obviously, I'm not actually the one in charge here, the decision is with the
 powerpc maintainers].
