[RFC PATCH 0/3] base board consolidation

[Philippe Rétornaz]

Hi

(dropping Valentin in CC, as he is not working at epfl anymore)

I would like to keep the mx31moboard parameter for compatibility reasons as 
some board are outside of epfl and are upgraded remotly without access to the 
bootloader. But I can keep the compatibility stuff in my tree if needed.

Yeah, I don't see much the point defining now a new common abstraction that 
will be obsoleted by the device tree.

Thanks,

Philippe
