Is there a reason for not having those dts files in mainline then?
If nothing else, it would document what machines are still being
used with future kernels.

Also, if that's the only 405 based product that is still relevant with
a 5.7+ kernel, it may be useful to know at which point they
move to a 476 core and stop updating kernels on the old ones.
