is it really necessary to create a new binman include? I have added the
nodes for imx8mp directly to the imx8mp-u-boot.dtsi. I guess you did
this because not all boards are converted yet. But I have tried this
when I moved binman to the common include for imx8mp. As the phycore-
imx8mp was also not converted at that point. It did not hurt having the
binman nodes included. At least back then.

I just not like to see that the file structure diverges. If there is a
good reason I'd rather also move the binman nodes for imx8mp to a
imx8mp-binman.dtsi.

Regards,
Teresa
