There is an important goal: having a single U-Boot image running on boards that can have different (pin compatible) SOCs. We get this managing the different layout of the IOMUXC, that was maybe the most difficult part - why do we go back when we can't ?
Get you. I saw the code in gw_ventana.c to detect the DTB at runtime. To imx6q/qp/dl sabreauto board, there is no place to store info such as ventana_board_info. But this is a good point that gw_ventana use the way to do runtime check, which can make one image goal for pin compatible SOCs.
Right - and this will be appreciate by sabreauto customers, who should not deal with several U-Boot images. And maybe asking why board is not booting after installing the wrong one.
To the i.mx6qp board patch, I can use this way to remove the DTB related #ifdefs, use the way that gw_ventana uses. Will split the current patch into two, one to refacotr the current code to use runtime DTB detect, the second one is to add i.mx6qp support.
It looks like a nice plan ;-).
