The make target name (and as such the entry in boards.cfg) selects a
specific board _configuration_, not a board family or such.  We need a
convenient way for the user to selct any of the supported
configurations, and we also need a convenient way to actually list all
supported configurations (for example, to be able to build them all in
the autobuilder).

As such, combining different configurations under a common name is not
possible.  We do need separate entries for each and every
configuration (unless someone changes the implementation such that we
have another way fulfill the aforementioned requirements).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
