While porting IMXRT I'm realizing that things would fit better if adding 
to mach-imx folder. This is because IMXRT has a lot in common with imx 
on low level side, i.e. iomux, clock. So I would go for mach-imx instead 
of mach-imxrt, is it ok?

But then I can't understand if going on trying to initialize everything 
through dts, even on SPL, or trying to imitate how other imx work, i.e. 
imx6 where they directly call low-level functions(iomuxc etc.) in board 
init.
Which approach would be better for you all?

I wait for your answer

Thanks in advance
Kind regards
