On a second look, if you introduce DEVICE_DTS_DIR for Default-arm64, we should also introduce it to Device/Default:
DEVICE_DTS_DIR := $(DTS_DIR)
Otherwise, we would have part of the target relying on the device-specific variable and part on the global one, and I do not think that's desirable. With the change, the whole target will use DEVICE_DTS_DIR.

For sunxi, no. There the problem is that DEVICE_DTS_DIR is present in conditions in image.mk (or one of those files), and the device setup in sunxi itself assumes that subdirs are part of DEVICE_DTS. But this effectively might be a separate issue, as it is connected to the setup in sunxi.
It's not easy to fix that in a proper way.
