Yep, the generalization of the "-t" construct for boards.cfg is still
missing.  This will end up by being one entry in boards.cfg for all
supported targets and then "-t" for mkconfig can go away.

So yes, the patch is good.

Wolfgang, what was our last idea that "-t" construct?  Unfortunately I
cannot remember...
