At this point, I don't see what the benefit of centralizing all of these 
would be.  Currently there is no concept of a single kernel image that 
would work across multiple MIPS system implementations.  So keeping the 
DTS files with their users makes some organizational sense.
Similar arguments could be made for moving all the files in `find . 
-name \*.dts\*` to a top level dts/ directory.
