Toradex DTS include and overlay files structure so far has been a little
bit different and not following the expectation you just stated here,
you can just check the current *toradex*dts* files and you'll see that there
is other stuff that is not strictly part of the module.

Copying from a previous email thread on a very similar discussion [0]
some of the reasons:

- The SoM dtsi representing not only the functionality implemented into
the SoM, but the whole connector pinout to the carrier makes very easy
to just include a different som.dtsi in the carrier board dts and just
switch SoM, for example from a colibri-imx6 to a colibri-imx7.
- We avoid code duplication

This is working for us pretty well so far and the majority of the users
of ours modules rely on this structure, we would prefer not to change that.
