It happened that the git repositories were dirty and resulted in
incorrect files being used. Let's use git clean -ffdx to force a
completely clean git repositories before and after checking out a branch
so that nothing is left from or to another branch build

Sure this is correct? 'git clean -ffdx' does not revert changes to
tracked files, be them staged or not.
Nope, not sure this is correct. I misread git clean manpage, we should have a git reset --hard and git clean -ffdx. Now the question is when those are necessary because with this patch we do it twice, before and after the git checkout. I did this because I remember doing checkouts between branches of U-Boot/kernel and while the pre-checkout branch was not dirty, the after-checkout branch was dirty. I assume this might have something to do with build artifacts of the pre-checkout build that weren't .gitignored in the afer-checkout branch? Something that git clean -ffdx should tackle I think.

Sooo, I guess only having git reset --hard and git clean -ffdx before a checkout should be enough and we don't need them both before and after the checkout like I did in this patch?

Cheers,
Quentin
