The only issue I see with that is TEGRA_DEVICE_SETTINGS can be used by
boards today to add additional environment as well as override
stdin/stdout/stderr.  I don't think any boards actually do though, so
we could just make a TEGRA_EXTRA_DEVICE_SETTINGS if that need comes
up. 

We might as well just put this directly in CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
because if TEGRA_DEVICE_SETTINGS is private to tegra-common-post.h
there's really no reason for it to exist.

It was working at one point, but I haven't tried it recently.

Sure, looks like there's pleny of room for commonizing more stuff from
the board confgs and triggering off tegra feature defines like
CONFIG_TEGRA_I2C, CONFIG_TEGRA_MMC, CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TEGRA,
CONFIG_TEGRA_KEYBOARD. 

I'll look at making a separate patch for that.
