The reason we don't need to care about RAM differences is because u-boot
takes care of that, and updates the DT nodes accordingly.

In general, I'm not a fan of leaving these decisions up to u-boot,
but... as an option...

I'm pondering if we should do the same for the connectivity settings? A
properly configured u-boot already knows if it's an internal/external
PHY, Mbit vs Gbit etc. so in a similar way could enable/disable the
right nodes.

We could have a single DTS for each of these board families which
has some reasonable defaults, then u-boot would enable/disable nodes
accordingly.
