Ok, thanks for clarification.

And how do you know which ones are board specific? E.g. I would like
to add our board which is also based on the lan9668. Maybe I don't
want a watchdog (or whatever node). Of course I could use

&watchdog {
   status = "disabled";
};

But IMHO opt-in is better. At least thats what we are doing for
the layerscape over on arm64.
