Yes, I already adhere to the new Linux convention in my barebox code.

Could you add the first mainline Linux release that includes the commit?

You can return the basprintf() here directly

Then you can return NULL here and drop found.

This assumes that barebox aliases align with those of the kernel. I think this
is at least worth a mention in the Kconfig text.
For an alternative, see f382be77f8c0 ("boot: introduce option to pass
barebox-enabled watchdog to systemd"), which parses the aliases out of the
kernel device tree without depending on the barebox ones.
Cheers,
Ahmad
