I noticed your patch but then we would still have to define
CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS and CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS in our board config or include
the tqma6.h config, which defines too many things we do not need.

The problem is, we have different clocks and more c files, so we use a separate
board directory and a separate board config without SPI defines and just use
obj-y += ../../tqc/tqma6/tqma6.o in front of our object files in the Makefile.

If we don't exclude those SPI parts, we would either have to define those SPI
config options (which does not make sense) or move all of our board code in one
file under tqc/tqma6 which is not an option, we also define additional clocks
via a separate IMX_CONFIG file.

Wouldn't it be better to always exclude this code when not using SPI instead of
weakly defining the tqma6_iomuxc_spi function?
Then small baseboards could be put in tqc/tqma6 and larger projects could still
just link to tqma6.o and put all their stuff in a separate board directory.
