[U-Boot] wanting a couple clarifications on the boards.cfg file

  after some playing around, i think i have a pretty good handle on
the structure and usage of the boards.cfg file, except for what are
apparently some oddities (not errors, just redundancies in some
sense).

  first, with lines like this:

apx4devkit                   arm         arm926ejs   apx4devkit          bluegiga       mxs             apx4devkit
m28evk                       arm         arm926ejs   m28evk              denx           mxs             m28evk
mx28evk                      arm         arm926ejs   mx28evk             freescale      mxs             mx28evk

that last field would seem to be redundant, since the default value is
just the name of the first (target) field, correct?

  also odd is something like this:

mx31ads                      arm         arm1136     -                   freescale      mx31
mx31pdk                      arm         arm1136     -                   freescale      mx31         mx31pdk:NAND_U_BOOT

  given that nothing else in the entire file refers to mx31pdk, it
seems overly complicated for mx31pdk to refer to its own config file,
only to add a preprocessor definition.

  other than that, i might try to add an entry for a NAND-less beagle
xm.
