The Makefile is not the right place to provide configuration
information. It shouls select a target board, and build it, nothing
more.

All board specific configuration information should be  kept  in  the
board  specific files only (please also keep in mind the next one who
has to port Linux to a new board - config information should  not  be
scattered  over  too  many  polaces,  and especially no into common ,
central files).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
