So it is clearly related to the Variscite board.

This layer has too much duplication. Stop using the duplicated bits
and rely on the ones provided by the BSP (imx-base.inc for example).
To be honest, it would be good to push Variscite to proper integrate
the board as it is a very popular SoM for custom projects. The
imx-base.inc reuse should fix your issue I think.
