I need to support all PMIC versions with same image, as PMIC is just a component on the
SoM module. So SoM's have different PMIC versions.

Yes, this is an option. Bootloader updates "renesas,invert-xtoscb" property based
on PMIC version.

Not sure, From binding perspective, Documenting "renesas,invert-xtoscb" is OK for
the relevant maintainers??
