  ah, got it.  but what about in a more general case?  what if you
have a current, accurate definition for an existing board?  then a
*slight* variant of that board comes along, for which some settings in
the defconfig file are simply wrong?

  are there any examples of that in barebox right now?  and if not,
how would one handle them?  put another way, what if *all* xM boards
had no NAND?  then we'd be back to my original question, and it's
still not clear how you'd define that new board for barebox.
