We need to rework this a little more:

The approach taken in this series is enable pre-ram for everything. I am
not sure that is the right direction.
These patches only enable bootph-pre-ram for the nodes, that already had bootph-pre-ram property in u-boot dts
patches for j784s4. And these are selected after removing unnecessary nodes that had this property, so not added for
everything. Are there a nodes which seem to have unnecessary bootph-pre-ram property according to you, need to remove?

patch #1: board generic changes: patch #1
patch #2-: board specific change (per board)

Make sure you use the correct property and document why this is needed
in the section added as well - esp for board generic changes introduced
into SoC.dtsi files.

I am little unclear about what nodes you refer with board generic vs board specific bootph-pre-ram.
I have currently added bootph-pre-ram in board EVM dts files if the node is disabled in SoC dtsi and enabled
in EVM dts (no point adding bootph-pre-ram in disabled node), or for pinmuxes, etc. What is the segregation
you want in the patch, do you want some bootph-pre-ram to be moved from where they are?

Is this better done where the node is defined?
Okay, this I will fix.
