Well, I think we cannot check for each update of this file which board
are dropped - this requires too much effort. The way we currently use
(Linux is the master of this file, and we update it directly from the
kernel) is IMHO the right way to get it in sync.

Maybe the best way, if you want to have your board maintained in u-boot
but not in kernel (however, why ?) is to define your MACH in the board
configuration file.
