Well, is the naming scheme so important in such a sense? Yes, now
git has made renaming quite a painless hassle, however, that's really
some needless thing IMHO.

PXA on the other way, doesn't come up with any board-* or mach-*
suffix, and no one seems complaining so far.

Orion and IXP, have <board-name>-setup.c, all looks fine to me as
long as they are consistent.

OTOH, sometimes there are core modules and base board (i.e.
motherboard), do we have to go to the extend to something like,
coreboard-* and motherboard-*. I doubt that.

So in a word,  as long as it's consistent all around.
