I'm not sure if I really understand what the "old" and the "new"  way
is,  but  we must limit the growth of the Makefile; it is not a place
to configura boards. Yes, this has been done in the past (when U-Boot
supported only a fraction of the boards we have today), and maybe  we
even  clean  up the old boards one day, but at least don't let us add
more of this stuff.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
