Can you please point out specific boards that show this problem?

Actually this should not be  needed  any  more  as  all  use  of  the
DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR  (should)  have  been  moved outside function
bodies, so we already use a global definition. If there are remaining
places where this has been forgotten I'd rather fix these.
