To clarify what we have been doing until now and what is hence being
perceived as a general rule (though I'm not sure it has ever been
formalized):
Adding support for new devices to stable branches is ok and should
even be encouraged if and only if
 * it's been in master for a week or so and didn't break the build
 * no changes on kernel or tools are needed
 * all features can be supported just as well as similar boards already
   supported in that branch

Cheers
