I suggest to do the cleanup later.  Doing it before adding mx51 support
would make only more work for little benefit.  And then the cleanup
bases on a working version.  I'm willing to implement the platform id
thingy and evaluate it.  But currently I have no time for that.  So I
suggest we choose a mix between your and Sascha's patch for now and I
will check where the cleanup fits in my planning.

Best regards
Uwe
