according to this commit there are indeed different requirements:

commit 8e0d963b19adfb98e8c7c941f44e0f36e9f91303

    dts: imx8qxp-mek: introduce u-boot dtsi

    Introduce u-boot dtsi for i.MX8QXP MEK board.
    we do not introduce a common dtsi for SoC, because different board
    has different requirement on which needs to be enabled in SPL DM.

So any proposal?

Best regards,
