Ok - with this explanation, I would try to understand how the changes
can be split. If the feature/change works for several boards, it makes
sense to have it common and general. If it is only for one board, must
flow into the board directory.

It looks like that ldo-bypass is strictly dependent on the board.
Firstly, it must have PMIC, and not all boards have it. Your last sentence:

> In ldo-bypass mode, we need trigger WDOG_B pin to reset pmic in
> ldo-bypass mode. So add set_wdog_reset to do this work.

This looks to me as an item very bound to the board. Could it be
possible to use another pin (I do not know the schematics, I remember
that such as reset pin was fix on previous i.MX) ? If answer is yes, can
these changes be used by other board or are they only for sabresd ?

mmmhh....global to the module ?

I am quite lost. I have searched in kernel (current TOT), and I have not
found such property. Can you help me to understand ?

This enforce my doubts.

In any case, do not use hard-coded filenames into u-boot. They can change.

Why do we need #ifdef ?
