[PATCH v2 1/3] Add support for mini-box.com picoSAM9G45 board

Hi Nicu,

I just wonder if it makes sense to add more application specific board files to
Linux rather than switching to a DT based configuration. This board file makes
use of several assumptions about hardware connected to the board:

> +	/* USART1 on ttyS1. (Rx, Tx, RTS, CTS) */
> +	at91_register_uart(AT91SAM9G45_ID_US0, 1, ATMEL_UART_CTS | ATMEL_UART_RTS);
> +	/* USART1 on ttyS2. (Rx, Tx, RTS, CTS) */
> +	at91_register_uart(AT91SAM9G45_ID_US1, 2, ATMEL_UART_CTS | ATMEL_UART_RTS);

Optional. Depends on usage of J7 and J9. Can as well be used as GPIO lines.

At least my device didn't come with a NAND flash attached.

Useless for headless applications. The recently posted IIO AT91 ADC driver could
alternatively be used for the 4 ADC inputs if no TS is connected.

Those are highly application specific as well.

Just my 2ct.
