In arch/arm/boards/freescale-mx7-sabresd/board.c they do something like:

if (!of_machine_is_compatible("fsl,imx7d-sdb"))
  return 0;

Can't I just do the same?

if (!of_machine_is_compatible("kam,imx7d-flex-concentrator-mfg"))
  return 0;

The board driver in arch/arm/boards/lxa-mc1/board.c seems more complicated.
