Yes, mx28 is a better name - if a prefix, it should be a SOC prefix, not
a board name.

But I noted :
 -uint32_t dram_vals[] = {
+uint32_t mx28_dram_vals[] = {
 	0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000,
 	0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000,
 	0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000,

why is this structure not static ?
