Besides mx31_3ds and mx51_3ds, the mx31_ads and mx27_ads also have the similar CPLD expanding device.
They have similar functions but different CPLD image version. That is to say, except base_addr and parent_irq_pin,
the CPLD implemented device controller(like uart and interrupt controller) will be a little bit different.
I think the software for this part could be moved to a common file like plat-mxc/mxc-debugboard.c

Because this is a big action, it will affect some exsiting platforms. How about leave this work to next
action?

Thanks,
Jason.

It seems MXC_BOARD_IRQS is the number of CPLD expanding irq(or debugboard expanding irq).

Thanks,
Jason.
