This is better and now looks (at a glance) almost identical to
stamp9g20_defconfig. Can you just add CONFIG_MACH_STAMP9G20GMS to
stamp9g20_defconfig and support both boards?

Looking at this a bit more closely, the Stamp9G20 is a system on module
(SoM) board. The MACH_STAMP9G20 option supports the Stamp9G20 on
taskits's evaluation board and the MACH_PCONTROL_G20 option supports it
on the PControl carrier board. There is a reasonable amount of code
replication in each of the board files for the UARTs, NAND, MMC, etc.

Would it be better to have MACH_STAMPG20/board-stamp-9g20.c contain the
core support for the Stamp9G20 module and then each of the carrier board
files contain only the setup/devices found on the carrier board?

I don't know what the correct approach for SoMs. We are also interested
in this as we develop SoMs with carrier boards. Cc'ed Russell King for
his opinion.

gpio_free(gpio + PCF_GPIO_ETH_DETECT)?

I still think you can do away with some of these ifdef guards.
Registering the device is not a problem, and you are only saving a
handful of bytes by having this ifdef. I think the code is more
readable/maintainable without all the ifdefs.

No. It should all be one call to pr_notice on one single line so that
the full message can easily be grepped. Lines over 80 columns are
allowed for printk functions and checkpatch will not warn about this.
