I'd doubt we could completely script this with a generic rule without a bunch of manual transformations. So I think either restructuring in the kernel or when we move them out of the kernel makes more sense. We know the problem is coming, but it is not yet a major, pressing issue. OTOH, you could see how far you get by putting dts files in directories by their board level compatible string vendor and put any include files where ever they are included from. Of course, that is just my proposed layout. I haven't heard any opinions on that layout.
