Well, in fact it turns out that we already have quite a few DT tests in
our sama5d3 kernel (github/linux4sam) because all subsystem are not
converted to DT yet. If we put even an extract of this in a common board
file it will soon become a mess.
I also do understand the need for limiting the testing of several
compatibility strings before booting...

Moreover, as discussed with Jean-Christophe, if we join
board-dt-rm9200.c and the sam9 one, we will need to compile
at91rm9200_time.c ST driver, even for sam9s and sama5s which is kind of
useless.

Even if I hate duplicating code, I tend to prefer the "multi-file"
solution as it adds a tiny overhead but leads to a clearer result.

Ludovic, can you please re-spin the whole series with updated patches
and the removal of patch #3 which I plan to queue for 3.9 fixes.

Best regards,
