Agree on this - my concern is if NAND_MXS is set, but APBH_DMA not. I
see that APBH_DMA is not in Kconfig, and there are some other options
that are really set by all MX6-MX7 boards:

#define CONFIG_APBH_DMA
#define CONFIG_APBH_DMA_BURST
#define CONFIG_APBH_DMA_BURST8

I understand now that we can do this with a follow-up patch. The best
way will be if, activating NAND_MXS, all 3 above are set for i.MX6 and
i.MX7 but just CONFIG_APBH_DMA for MX23-MX28, dropping them from
include/configs/<board>

I agree with you, the rest requires more cleanup and should be done in
separate patches.

Stefano
