[RFC PATCH 0/3] base board consolidation

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Hello,

for a customer who uses a SoC-module already supported in mainline but a
custom base board I'm currently coding the umpteenth baseboard
abstraction. So I tried to come up with a generic definition.

I converted only one machine (mx31moboard) for now, possible other users
I found are:

	mx31lilly
	mx31lite
	colibri-pxa270

but I wouldn't be surprised if there are more.

Patch 2 keeps the existing kernel parameter for mx31moboard. That can be
removed later as is done in patch 3. The latter shouldn't be applied now
and is only included to improve the diffstat :-)

At some time this will probably be obsoleted by device tree stuff, the
upside of this approach is that it already works today without the need
to adapt the bootloader.

Best regards
Uwe
