DTS is always separate, independent of device drivers. If you mix them,
it's usually a sign of ABI breakage or compatibility issues, so don't
mix them.

This looks weird. Is BCM2711 on Raspberry Pi 4 different than other
BCM2711? Commit msg also does not explain this.

Just re-use bcm2836_drvdata instead of duplicating it.
