I do not object to this patch at all.
Yes, I just pointed out it just in case.

I only did that because it shares some code with Venice2 and needed to define some variable do distinguish the two boards, and there wasn't already a standard variable for this in the build process. I'm quite happy to convert to the standard (or even de-facto) standard variable we have now.
This might be rahter an open question, but I was just wondering which prefix is nice for choosing a board.
- CONFIG_BOARD_*
This seems clear prefix for board select. But we will have the name space conflict with
exsting macros such as
CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT, CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F, etc.
- CONFIG_TARGET_*
The current implementation is using this.
- CONFIG_MACH_*
ARM Linux adopts this name rule and I can see various headers are using it.
