I did a comparison of the "Banana Pro" vs the "BPi-M1+".

The differences are similar to what we have with any other development
board, say the Cubietruck:

- A different WiFi chip is used, and the BT part is not hooked up.
- Different GPIOs for external power regulator/switches
- Different GPIOs for LEDs
- Different peripherals exposed on the headers.

IMO There's no need to merge or have a common .dtsi for the two boards.
They (and all the other development boards) look similar because
everyone is following the basic set by Allwinner's reference design,
like which MMC controller and pins are used for SD/MMC, which ones
are used for SDIO-based WiFi, and so on.

I did a version completely from scratch using just the schematics:

Please ignore the last commit. It's just me playing with NTP support
for GPS time.

ChenYu
