Hi Thomas
So thinking about dove, kirkwood, this new SoC, all living in mvebu,
should we have a board-dt.c file which all SoCs share, and then one
.c/.h pair of files per SoC? I'm saying this without looking at the
actual content, so i've no idea is this is actually possible. I guess
we need to do something like this sometime, but does it need to be
now?
