Thank you so much for review.
Header files 'include/configs/' are auto picked for platform we are using. 
I find it useful especially for common drivers like VID to auto pick required values for underneath platform from 'include/configs/<CONFIG_SYS_CONFIG_NAME>.h' and we don't need changes in common driver.

(arch/Kconfig)
config SYS_CONFIG_NAME
        string
        help
          This option should contain the base name of board header file.
          The header file include/configs/<CONFIG_SYS_CONFIG_NAME>.h
          should be included from include/config.h.


(Same is recommended for add/remove boards: doc/README.kconfig)
         Define CONFIG_SYS_CONFIG_NAME="target" to include
         include/configs/<target>.h


Currently all NXP platforms (except LX2 series) are using CONFIG_SYS_CONFIG_NAME to include platform specific header file for VID driver. I extended the support for LX2 and because the changes are common for lx2160ardb, lx2160aqds and lx2162aqds , I added them to lx2160a_common.h. 

Do you want me to move changes from ' include/configs/lx2160a_common.h' to ' include/configs/lx2160ardb.h',  ' include/configs/lx2160aqds.h' and ' include/configs/lx2162aqds.h'  ?
 
Or you want me to avoid adding anything to 'include/configs/<CONFIG_SYS_CONFIG_NAME>.h ' files ? Is there any reason to do so ?
