I don't have an objection to the patches themselves, but a general
feeling that it would be better to have larger combined patches than
splitting them out per board.

I'm cautious with this comment because most people seem to do the
opposite and combine too many things into large patches, but I think
when you have identical changeset comments and change the same Kconfig
file in all of them, you can save yourself and the reviewers some work.
