Actually, it's already done. ;)

I started yesterday and it turned out to be much more straightforward
than I had expected. And yes, the __weak trick came to my mind then,
too.

Looks good, I'll check.

Maybe this should be renamed to into a CONFIG_* macro then? IMHO the
division between Kconfig symbols and board header defines is a bit
inconsistent.
