The board-BOARD.c files are transitional files, and will disappear once
the DT conversion is done.  All that will remain is board-dt.c.  So,
there is no long-term issue.  Since it's a short term issue, and we're
moving/renaming anyway, how about kirkwood-dreamplug.c, orion5x-ts209.c,
etc?

I personally don't think it's needed, but I have no strong opinion on
it.

thx,

Jason.
