Sure... Except one more exception please "mv88f6192gtw_fe"
This is next board whose kernel support and board name registry is already done in linux,
this will be the next board support patch from me after getting this stuff in.
For next upcomming boards I will keep in mind

In future to support all SOC drivers, I will keep it 4M if you agree
