Ok, considering legacy targets we can make it 1.

But i think ideally it should always be recommended to have a board ID 
associated with a SoC ID, correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Yes, But the "if" checking would have preference in place.
The preference logic would look something like this,

First will check for SoC-ID, if we have an exact match for SoC-ID then 
will proceed for board-ID match. Otherwise the DT would be discarded.
Once (exact) board-ID found, will proceed for subtype , pmic and so on.
Exact match and best match logic is used. Parameters like SoC-ID, 
board-ID are required to be best matched. Other few fields follow best 
match logic and best of the DT can be picked.

Sure, will update. Would need to work with teams.

Thanks,
