Thanks for spotting this. It shows some points that could be cleaned up.
Generally I suggest to remove the unused files. When they are unused
nobody should miss them. For some boards we could think about removing
them as well, like for example the i.MX boards that are still not
converted to multiimage support.
I just sent a series starting this, but that's just a start...
