Not sure what you mean by "not clean" and "can generate problems" here,
perhaps you can elaborate that more in commit message?

Quick git grep shows that there are boards that have it implemented,
but only two CPU families have them:
- arch/arm/cpu/armv8/fsl-layerscape/cpu.c
- arch/arm/mach-imx/imx8m/soc.c

- board/aristainetos/aristainetos.c
- board/engicam/stm32mp1/stm32mp1.c
 -board/renesas/alt/alt.c
- board/renesas/gose/gose.c
- board/renesas/koelsch/koelsch.c
- board/renesas/lager/lager.c
- board/renesas/porter/porter.c
- board/renesas/silk/silk.c
- board/renesas/stout/stout.c
- board/sandbox/sandbox.c
- board/st/stm32mp1/stm32mp1.c
- board/sunxi/board.c
- board/xilinx/versal/board.c
- board/xilinx/zynq/board.c
- board/xilinx/zynqmp/zynqmp.c

If it does interfere with certain things you do - why not moving
it to imx8mn-evk and imx8mp-evk instead? At least this would give
adopters a hint, as EVKs are normally a reference target.
