That is bad. We shouldn't have added any CONFIG just for sake of making
one platform work, that to with very generic nomenclature. Anyways, given
the fact we have two similar configs, Let's kill one of them completely.
I think killing CONFIG_NAND would be easier, as it's used only in few
TI specific am33xx boards. Agree ?
