Heiko,

You can add multi-dtb support to this so that it's usable by the other
imx8mn boards with the following:

I don't mind sending this as a follow-up to your patch here.

It looks like there are only the following boards in mainline that
would benefit from using this shared include:
imx8mn-beacon-kit-u-boot.dtsi
imx8mn-var-som-symphony-u-boot.dtsi
imx8mn-venice-u-boot.dtsi

Have you compared the binman portions of imx8m{m,n,p}-u-boot.dtsi?
There are a lot of differences due to different property ordering and
label/node naming conventions. I would like to see these normalized
but i'm not clear which is the best example to normalize to.
Specifically I don't know:
1. what is the convention for property ordering in dt... is it simply
alphabetical order?
2. have we settled on a convention for the blob naming, if so what is
the best example?

Best Regards,

Tim
