My main concern is how to best handle new boards and features/drivers. E.g. for Rockchip the RK3588 SoC is under active development, new boards and features/drivers are actively added/fixed in upstream Linux.
To this question specifically, dts/update-dts-subtree.sh has a "pick" option and in some previous quick testing, it does what one would hope. So for this case you could pick the N commits that need to be brought it, the resulting patch would be small enough to send to the list normally (the resync patch for v6.9 is 2.7MB) and then when I do the next full resync it goes cleanly still.
That sounds like a good alternative although it was proposed for any fixes to be incorporated but it's worth giving it a try for new features too. I think as long as the cherry pick is clean with all dependencies being picked up properly, the next sync should work cleanly.
