Jean-Christophe's patches seem to follow the current U-Boot convention -
use board/<vendor> when a vendor has multiple boards, and use
board/<boardname> when a vendor only has 1 board. I can't speak to the
accuracy of how he split boards up, but his idea seems correct.

This isn't in line with how U-Boot currently organizes the board/ directory.

Neither is this. Jean-Christophe seems to be doing the "right" thing
with his patches and I'd ACK them assuming the boards are put in the
proper board/<vendor> and board/<boardname> directory.
Best,
