Overall, I'm not convinced it is a good idea to start from
at91sam9x5ek.dtsi as it makes you dtb bigger than necessary but if you
want it that way, I'm fine with that.

Because using at91sam9x5ek.dtsi saves some code (maintenance effort?!) I
am willing to accept the extra binary size.
However, if you think that this causes the maintenance efforts to be
greater than when doing it your way, I'd be up for changing it.

I'd say at91sam9x5ek.dtsi has very little chances to change and even if
this is the case, it will probably not break your device tree but it is
still a possibility.

As said, I'll let you choose.
