ma35d1.dtsi describes the MA35D1 SoC and its integrated peripherals only.
It does not describe any board-level components and is not a SOM 
description.

In our hardware design, the DDR memory is part of the board itself.
For the SOM-based product, the memory resides on the SOM module; 
therefore, it is described in the corresponding board .dts file.
Although we use "SOM" terminology internally, from a hardware and device 
tree perspective these are single-board designs,
and all |.dts| files describe complete boards.
