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...
