Don't put *.dtsi into include/dt-bindings, I believe.

I think the solution is to introduce some new shared/common location for shared/common *.dtsi files, into the kernel tree, in the interim.
When *.dts move out of the kernel, this common location can simply be consumed as part of the DT tree re-organization.
Or perhaps, we could move *.dts around in the kernel to match the proposed DT tree structure before that point in time?

I would tend to prefer that option, ...

or perhaps that one.
