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?

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?

Okay, this I will fix.
