One barebox image for multiple boards

Hi,
I'm looking for a solution to support multiple boards with just one
barebox image. The few core components that are relevant for barebox are
the same on all boards, so that the same barebox image runs on all
boards. It is possible to dynamically detect the board type inside
barebox, but as this requires some infrastructure it is not possible
during lowlevel init. So basically Barebox should boot with a minimal
core device tree, detect the board type and then use the corresponding
device tree of the detected board. Something similar to
arch/arm/boards/stm32mp15xx-dkx/lowlevel.c but not at low level.
Maybe I missed something, but I couldn't find such a scenario in the
existing board code yet.
Is there a suggestion on how to best implement such a system, or is
there perhaps a board that uses something like this?
Thanks
~Matthias
