If you count only the number of boards, indeed, but if you count the
number of devices actually used in the field, we cover already a
significant portion of them.

Yeah, we probably can keep that for bananapi only at the moment, and
try to generalize that afterwards.

I don't think it fixes anything at this point. We droped your commit
that was using the A20 OPPs, so in the history so far we don't have
anything to fix, just enable cpufreq again.
