I understand that, but I really want to finalize this chapter
of the multiplatform work, it's been going for too long. It's
not the only platform that has ATAG-based board files remaining,
and I don't see how keeping it the remaining dove board files
out of multiplatform is going to speed up their removal.

mv78xx0 as well. Yes, that would have been good to mention
in the cover-letter, I assumed that everyone was aware of that.

It would seem a bit silly to do one or two of these and not
do the others at the same time.
