This commit adds initial board support for iMXQXP AI_ML board from

Einfochips. This board is one of the 96Boards Consumer Edition and AI boards of the 96Boards family based on i.MXQXP SoC from NXP/Freescale.

Looks like the order needs to be inverted.

You could use single line comment style instead.

Yeah, will remove it.

Why do you turn off the caches?
This also slipped when copying from mek board. Will remove.

Just wondering why CONFIG_FEC_MXC_MDIO_BASE is set in a board config file?
Shouldn't this base address be retrieved from device tree?
Ideally it should but the driver is not matured enough to retrieve address from DT. Currently it relies on the Kconfig symbol, hence it needs to be present till the driver is cleaned up.

These base addresses should not be needed as they can be retrieved from device tree.
Actually these defines are not needed. Will remove.

It makes easier for Linux distros to support it.
Agree. Initially I thought of not using it since the most of imx8 boards are not using distro_boot, but anyway it doesn't hurt to do so.
Thanks, Mani
