[U-Boot] any value in defining specifically a beagleboard xM config file?

Dear Robert,

Short answer: no.

Adding another board config file or just such a slightly different
configuration indeed makes no sense.  However, adding such a config
option (plus the needed #ifdef's in the existing board config file)
may make a lot of sense.  All you need to do is add such aline to
boards.cfg (plus the #ifdef's tp omap3_beagle.h

Hm... I'm no beagleboard xpert - but if I'm reading the "if gpio input
173; then run userbutton_xm; ..." scripting correctly, then it's even
possible to detect the XM board at runtime, so eventually you don;t
even need a zeparte configuration?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
