Sorry, I've missed those questions. Let me try answering them.

Now also including the list.

 You are right and this will work.
 That being said, in my very humble opinion this seems somewhat odd to
do this not in a way kernel does it. I.e. it is kind of confusing to
introduce include syntax that is different from one used dts.
 Approach I'm suggesting covers all cases currently used in OpenWrt
dts files and doesn't force one to use '#include' for dtsi.

  It's in scripts/Makefile.lib, look for cmd_dtc.
